Ingredients

3 servings rice
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
1 head broccoli, chopped
2 cups frozen vegan ground "beef" (or one 8 oz package vegan beef strips)
1/4 cup vegetable broth (or water)
3 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 teaspoon brown sugar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 in ginger, grated
1-2 green onions, thinly sliced

Instructions

Cook rice according to package directions and set aside.
Add 1 tablespoon of the canola oil into a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli and stir fry for 1 minute then cover with the lid and allow to steam for 3-5 more minutes. Remove lid, stir fry another minute or two until crisp-tender. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In a bowl, whisk together the broth, soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger.
In the same non-stick skillet that you used for the broccoli, add the other 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and vegan beef. Stir fry for 2-3 minutes then add the sauce and sliced green onion. Cook for about 5 minutes or until vegan "beef" is cooked through.
To serve, add rice to a bowl and top with cooked broccoli and vegan "beef". Garnish with more sliced green onion, chopped cilantro, and sesame seeds.
