Method

Preparation of Ingredients

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tofu

    Drain the firm tofu and press it between paper towels to remove excess moisture. Cut into cubes.

  2. 2

    Chop the Vegetables

    Slice the red and green bell peppers into strips. Clean and slice the oyster mushrooms.

Cooking the Vegan Beef Tofu

  1. 3

    Sauté the Tofu

    In a large skillet, heat sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the cubed tofu and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.

  2. 4

    Add Vegan Beef and Vegetables

    Stir in the vegan beef strips, bell peppers, oyster mushrooms, minced garlic, and ginger. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

  3. 5

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, cornstarch, and black pepper. Pour the sauce over the tofu and vegetable mixture and stir well to coat. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Cooking the Rice or Noodles

  1. 6

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, sauté the minced garlic in a little oil until fragrant. Add the rice and vegetable broth, bring to a boil, then reduce to low heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until rice is cooked and liquid is absorbed.
