General Tsos Chicken Vegan Vegetarian And Organic Options Recipes

SHORTCUT VEGAN GENERAL TSO'S "CHICKEN"

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!

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.
