Vegetarian Chicken, Broccoli and Garlic Sauce

recipe adapted from: http://vegweb.com/recipes/spicy-broccoli-and-garlic-sauce



Ingredients:
1 package frozen Quorn Chik'n Tenders

1 cup vegetable broth
2 cloves garlic, minced or 1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar or 1 1/2 tablespoons regular sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons red chili flakes
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1-2 scallions, diced
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 head broccoli, chopped
1/4 cup water

Directions:

1. For sauce, combine veggie broth, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, red pepper flakes, scallions, sugar, and add the cornstarch last in medium bowl.
2. Mix until the cornstarch dissolves and there are no lumps left. I find heating the broth helps to dissolve it. In a medium frying pan, add the canola oil and put on high heat.
3. Prepare another frying pan, in which you should thaw and cook the Quorn tenders until they begin to brown.
4. Add the broccoli to the first pan, and stir occasionally for about 3-5 minutes, until most of the broccoli brightens and browns a little. Next, add 1/4 cup water and lower the temperature to medium.
5. Cover and let the broccoli steam for about 2-4 minutes. You want it crisp, so don't over cook the broccoli. Once the broccoli is cooked, add the sauce and the cooked Quorn tenders.
6. Place the cover back on, and feel free to turn the heat up a little. wait for 2-3 minutes or until the sauce thickens. When it is thick enough, it's ready to serve.

Serve with rice or quinoa.
