Description
A comforting and nutritious meal featuring a blend of mixed Asian vegetables, protein-packed edamame, and hearty vegetarian crumbles enveloped in an umami-rich sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups mixed Asian vegetables (like bell peppers, broccoli, and snow peas)
- 1 cup shelled edamame
- 2 tbsp water (more if needed)
- 1/4 cup reduced sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp Asian garlic chili paste
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp ginger, minced
- 1 lb vegetarian crumbles
Instructions
- Prepare the Vegetables: Heat a pan over medium-high heat. Add the mixed Asian vegetables along with 2 tbsp of water. Cover and cook for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
- Set Aside the Veggies: Once the veggies are cooked to your liking, remove them from the pan and set aside.
- Cook the Crumbles: In the same pan, add the vegetarian crumbles. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, breaking them up as they warm through.
- Mix the Sauce: While the crumbles are heating, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and garlic chili paste in a small bowl. Whisk until well blended.
- Combine & Simmer: Pour this sauce over the crumbles, stir well, and bring to a gentle simmer. Allow it to cook for another 3-4 minutes.
- Add Veggies: Finally, stir in your cooked vegetables or serve them separately, drizzling some extra sauce on top.
Notes
For added texture and flavor, consider topping your bowls with toasted sesame seeds or sliced green onions right before serving.
