Materials

Marinade

  • 3 cups water
  • 1 tsp marmite
  • 1/2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp molasses
  • 1 tbsp mushroom seasoning
  • 100 g tvp

"Beef" and Broccoli

  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp light brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp garlic
  • 2 tsp ginger
  • vegetable oil for frying
  • 4 cups broccoli florets
  • 1/4 cup marinade or water
  • rice for serving

Instructions

  • In a saucepot, mix all the ingredients and bring to a boil.
  • In a separate boil, add your tvp and pour the hot marinade on top. Cover and let sit for 30 minutes to 1 hour to rehydrate.
  • Once ready, reserve 1/4 cup of the liquid and discard the rest. Squeeze the tvp to remove any excess moisture. In another bowl, coat in cornstarch and add to a large pan.
  • Heat the pan and fry the tvp until it gets crispy on the outside. Turn off the heat and add the broccoli. Sautee for a few minutes to soften it.
  • In a bowl, mix the sauce together. Add the soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic and ginger, and the marinade.
  • Add the sauce to the pan and stir to coat everything in the sauce. Bring the heat to low and let thicken.
  • Once it's done, serve over rice immediately or store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
