Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1/3 cup Asian vegetable stock ((or low-sodium store-bought vegetable stock))
1 teaspoon dark soy sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce ((or seasoned soy sauce))
2 teaspoons rice vinegar
1 teaspoon Shaoxing wine ((or cooking sherry))
3 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1 pound vegan chicken nuggets or tenders
2 cups broccoli florets ((about 1 broccoli crown))
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4-5 dried red chili peppers ((broken in half if you like extra spice))
3 cloves garlic ((minced))
1 tablespoon cornstarch ((mixed with 2 tablespoons water))

Steps:

Make the sauce mixture by combining the vegetable stock, soy sauces, rice wine vinegar, Shaoxing wine, brown sugar, and white pepper. Set aside. Bake/cook the vegan chicken nuggets according to package instructions.
Bring a pot or wok of water to a boil, and blanch the broccoli for 30 seconds to 1 minute, depending on how crunchy/tender you like your broccoli. Drain and set aside. To keep it super green, you can also transfer the broccoli to an ice bath before draining.
Heat a clean wok or skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of oil along with the dried chilies. Cook for a few seconds, and add the minced garlic.
Next, add the prepared General Tso's sauce. Bring to a simmer. Stir the cornstarch into the water to make sure it's fully combined, and slowly stir the cornstarch slurry into the sauce. Simmer for another 30 seconds to allow the sauce to thicken.
Add the nuggets and broccoli, and toss until everything is evenly coated in sauce. Plate and serve immediately with steamed rice!

Number Of Ingredients 18

Ingredients

12 oz seitan (use drained weight if packed in water)
1/2 lb broccoli, chopped (fresh is best; frozen is ok)
1/2 small-to-medium onion, chopped, not too finely
1 tsp minced fresh ginger
3 Tbsp peanut oil (a bit less if using a non-stick pan)
BATTER FOR THE SEITAN:
1/4 c all-purpose flour, rice flour, or spelt flour
2 Tbsp cornstarch
1 tsp egg replacer (such as energ-g)
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 c plain unsweetened soy milk
1 Tbsp soy sauce
FOR THE SAUCE:
1/4 c soy sauce
2 Tbsp rice vinegar
3 Tbsp vegetable broth
3 Tbsp sugar or 2 1/4 tbs. agave nectar
2 tsp cornstarch

Steps:

1. In a small bowl, whisk together all the sauce ingredients and set aside.
2. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk all the dry ingredients for the batter together, then whisk in the soy milk and soy sauce.
3. Tear the seitan into bite-sized pieces, then mix in with the batter.
4. Heat 2 Tbs. peanut oil in a wok over medium-high heat then add the battered seitan. Fry the seitan, stirring constantly and separating the individual pieces, until it's nice and brown and crispy. This may take 8-10 minutes. Then remove the seitan from the wok and set aside.
5. Add the remaining 1 Tbs. of oil to the wok, then add the broccoli and onion. Stir-fry for a few minutes. Don't let the broccoli get too soft; it should still retain its color. Add the ginger and cook for another 30 seconds. Add the sauce and cook for another 3 minutes or so until it thickens. When the sauce is almost thick enough, turn the heat to low and stir in the seitan for about a minute.
6. Serve over rice, or over soba or udon noodles.

Liberally season the cubed tofu with salt and pepper. I typically use 1 tbsp of salt and 2 tsps of black pepper, but feel free to adjust to your taste. Set aside.
In a medium-size mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of cornstarch, the orange juice and vegetable stock. Mix with your fingers to ensure you have the right consistency. It should cover your fingers with a slightly-opaque coating. If the batter feels like sand in the middle, or is too stiff, add more broth; but don't add more than 1/4 cup of orange juice or the tofu will taste too sweet. Set aside.
In a large frying pan or wok (I ain't gotta a wok), heat the canola oil over medium high heat. Add a drop of the cornstarch batter to test the oil's temp. It should begin to sizzle and rise to the top within 3 seconds.
Place a handful of tofu cubes into the cornstarch batter and coat each piece evenly. It will feel funny because the cornstarch tends to lump up, however, when you remove the tofu, the excess should run off freely. Carefully place the tofu pieces into the hot oil. This may get messy, but don't crowd your pan; you want to make sure the temperature of the oil doesn't drop so low that it causes the tofu's coating to turn soggy (yuck).

I like to saute the vegetables first and then add them back in at the end, that way they have a nice texture to them and don’t get too mushy with everything else--but feel free to cook the vegetables as you please.
In a large nonstick pot over medium high heat, add the sliced garlic if using, cook 1-3 minutes until fragrant and translucent, adding water or broth as needed (of course you may cook with oil if you prefer). Then add your veggies. For me, I sauteed the broccolini for about 5 minutes but NOT the red bell pepper because I prefer my red bell peppers crunchy, not soft. I put a lid on for part of those 5 minutes to give the broccolini a little steaming action. Cook according to your preferences. Either way, take your cooked veggies out of the pot and place them in a bowl and cover either with a small plate or aluminum foil.
While your veggies are cooking, rehydrate the soy curls by placing them in a medium bowl and adding vegetable broth or water just so the top soy curls are floating just a little, for me, about 1 ¾ cups broth for 8 oz soy curls. It should absorb all the water in about 6-8 minutes, but if it doesn’t, drain off the water well before cooking them.
Saute the minced or grated ginger and garlic next over medium high heat for about 1-2 minutes or until fragrant in your large nonstick pot. Remember to add just a little water or broth to keep them from sticking.
