Vegan Beef
- 2 cups warm water 475 mL

- 1 oz package Butler Soy Curls 226 g
- 1 Tbsp oil 15 mL

Instructions
- The Extras: Cook rice according to instructions on package. Cook broccoli (I like microwaving it for this recipe, but here are 5 easy ways to cook broccoli).
- Start Sauce: Heat sesame oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Add ginger and garlic, cooking for 2 to 3 minutes until fragrant. Add soy sauce, brown sugar, and bouillon, then bring to a simmer.
- Thicken Sauce: In a small bowl dissolve the cornstarch in the ½ cup of water. While whisking the hot soy sauce mixture, drizzle the cornstarch slurry into the pan. Continue letting the sauce simmer until it has thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Cover and set aside.
- Soak: Combine water and bouillon until dissolved, then add soy curls. Let soak until all of the soy curls are tender, about 10 minutes. Drain the water from the soy curls, then squeeze out as much water as you can from the curls.
- Cook: Add oil to a large saute pan over medium heat, then add soy curls. Cook until then become a bit browned and crispy, 5 to 10 minutes. Optionally stir in kitchen bouquet to evenly coat soy curls.
- Assemble: Stir sauce into soy curls, then fold in broccoli. Serve warm with rice.
