- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/2 – 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp sesame oil
Separate bowl:
1 tbsp corn starch + 3 tbsp water
Instructions
- Cook rice according to package directions. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
- Meanwhile, in a frying pan on medium heat, add the olive oil, garlic, broccoli, and vegan chick’un.
- Cook a few minutes, stirring occasionally until chick’un is golden brown. Add the bok choy and cook a few minutes until wilted.
- Stir together sauce ingredients until combined. In a separate bowl, mix together cornstarch and water and stir until combined. Pour sauce over veggies, then add cornstarch mixture. Stir frequently as the sauce will thicken quickly.

I made this sauce for a stir fry last week and it was fantastic! The only modification I made was adding some chili paste for a little heat, just because I’m obsessed with spicy food. Super delicious <3
