This simple vegan broccoli stir-fry with mushrooms, sesame seeds and a sweet and sour orange sauce is ready in 25 minutes, flavourful and easy to make using just a few simple ingredients.
Ingredients
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 1/2 cup button mushrooms
- 1 medium red onion
- 2 tbsp tamari
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 tbsp water
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp sesame seeds
Equipment
- Conventional oven
- Non-stick frying pan
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees C/400 F and line a baking tray with parchment paper. Add the broccoli to the baking tray and drizzle with olive oil. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, until lightly crispy.
- When the broccoli is almost done, heat the sesame oil in a skillet or wok over a medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and red onion, cooking for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften.
- Add the broccoli and cook for a further 3 minutes to allow the florets to soften further.
- Lower the heat to medium. Add the tamari, orange juice, rice vinegar, and water. Stir together for a minute or so, then add the cornstarch and cook for a further few minutes to allow the sauce to thicken.
- At the last minute, stir in the sesame seeds and serve.
Notes
Do not throw away the broccoli stem: you can use it in other recipes, such as salads.
