Instructions
- Prepare the Vegan CHICKETTS™: According to your preferred method, either dice and press the CHICKETTS™ or pull apart and dice. This helps in creating the perfect texture and enhances the sauce absorption.
- Stir Fry the Vegetables:
- Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the onions, garlic, and ginger, sautéing until fragrant and slightly translucent, about 2 minutes.
- Add the bell peppers, broccoli, snap peas, and carrots. Stir fry for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
- Cook the Vegan CHICKETTS™:
- Add the prepared CHICKETTS™ to the skillet. Stir fry for another 5 minutes until the pieces are heated through and slightly browned.
- Add the Sauces:
- Pour in the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and chili paste. Stir to combine all the ingredients well.
- Add the cornstarch mixture to the skillet, stirring continuously. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce has thickened.
- Serve:
- Serve the stir fry over a bed of cooked brown rice. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.
- Enjoy! Your Vegan Classic Asian Stir Fry with WORTHINGTON® Vegan CHICKETTS™ is ready to delight with its authentic flavors and textures.
Notes
Tips for Preparing CHICKETTS™:
- Method 1: Diced & Pressed: Dice the CHICKETTS™ into bite-sized pieces. Lay them flat and use the flat side of a knife to gently press each piece. This helps to slightly separate the fibers, which allows them to better absorb flavors and mimics the mouthfeel of traditional chicken.
- Method 2: Pulled & Diced: Gently pull the CHICKETTS™ apart into shreds before dicing. This method gives the pieces a more jagged, irregular edge that not only looks more authentic but also helps the sauce cling better to the vegan meat, enhancing both texture and flavor in every bite.
