Sichuan Beef and Broccoli

Meat - Cow - -

INGREDIENTS

2 cups reconstituted textured soy protein chunks mixed with 2 T dark soy sauce
1 t cornstarch
1 T cooking oil
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 bunch of broccoli (stalks peeled), cut into thin slices (about 6 cups)
1 to 2 large onions, each cut into 6 wedges, layers separated
2 T water
1 large red bell pepper, seeded and cut into 1 inch / 2.5 cm squares
Cooking Sauce
1 T vinegar (rice, cider or white wine)
1 T chili garlic paste
1/2 T light unbleached sugar
1 cup light vegetarian broth
1 T cornstarch mixed with 2 T cold water

METHOD

Mix the soy protein with the cornstarch. Heat the oil in a non-stick wok or large skillet over high heat. Add the garlic and soy protein chunks. Stir fry until the soy protein chunks are browned. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Combine the cooking sauce ingredients in a bowl and set aside.

Add the broccoli, onions, bell peppers and 2 tablespoons water to the pan. Cover and cook for 2-3 minutes until the broccoli is just crisp-tender. Add a little more water if necessary.

Add the soy protein chunks back to the pan, along with the cooking sauce. Stir until the sauce is thickened and serve immediately.
