Cooking The Protein
I’m adding about a cup of the textured protein into a rice cooker, with a cup of vegetable broth, some coconut liquid aminos (or soy sauce), then toss the lid on, and cook these for twenty minutes. Now we need to make the sauce. I add a quarter cup of vegetable broth into a container, as well as about one tablespoon of liquid aminos (or soy sauce), and a quarter cup of my Not Steak Sauce. Mix that all together well. Then I get a frying pan on a medium/high heat, with some olive oil, a decent amount of garlic, onions, then the textured protein. This will help cook off the extra vegetable broth.
Sauce Mixture
In the meantime I’m going to make a cornstarch slurry which is just going to be about a tablespoon of cornstarch, a tablespoon of water, whisk that together, and set it aside for a moment. Now I’m going to cover the protein with our sauce mixture, let that come to a simmer. Once it is at a simmer, add in the slurry mix and stir that up. You want this to simmer together for a while until it really thickens up. Next, pull it off the heat, put it in a bowl, add on some green onions, maybe some sesame seeds or everything seasoning.
So Delicious!
Wow! This looks awesome. And it is a super cheap, super easy, protein rich dinner. I plate mine over some rice, then it is time to taste! This might remind you of Mongolian beef dish. It is delicious! This is just so tender and it tastes like pork! The whole plate I made, including the rice, is 314 calories and 24 grams of protein. This would be so nutritious with some vegetables too like peppers or broccoli or whatever you prefer! This whole dish only took me a few minutes to make, you need to give it a try!
