One pan vegan beef with broccoli with soy curls is packed with flavor and is so simple to make! The broccoli cooks right in the sauce to save you time and dishes. This is just an incredibly flavorful, 1 Pan, 30 min, easy stir fry, perfect for weeknight dinners.

This is a quick stir fry that is popular in Chinese restaurants(in the US). It needs just 1 pan, everyday ingredients and is quick and easy. I use soycurls for the beef. Soycurls are made with soy beans and have a meaty texture. They are available in dried form in stores and online. You can also use seitan or other vegan chicken or beef substitutes.

For the beef, we use soy curls soaked in broth and crisp them up on a skillet with some dark soy sauce and lots of garlic and ginger. The broccoli steams and cooks in the sauce to save a pan, and then we add in a thickener to help the sauce cling to the beefy soy curls and broccoli.

It’s a super quick recipe that just needs one pan, and it makes this ridiculously delicious vegan beef with broccoli.

For the best flavor, use vegan beef-flavored stock for soaking the soy curls.

This veggie- and flavor-packed Schezwan fried rice recipe is incredibly easy to make! I’ve simplified this Indo-Chinese dish to be a lot quicker without sacrificing any of its amazing, complex flavor!

Schezwan fried rice in a bowl with green onions for garnish

This is an Indo-Chinese fried rice. Indo-Chinese cuisine has its own variations of certain Chinese-inspired recipes, and there are some which are just specialties of the Indo-Chinese cuisine. They don’t really exist anywhere else. They’re just recipes created to fit into the fusion cuisine. 

This recipe has this fiery red-colored from-scratch sauce called indo-Chinese Schezwan sauce or Schezwan chutney, that I used to to make sauces with crispy veggies or protein and fried rice.

It tastes amazing!! It’s actually not that spicy, despite the red-looking sauce, because of the Kashmiri chilies that are used in the recipe. The traditional recipe involves making the Schezwan paste from scratch or using a store -bought Schezwan sauce. 

But I am shortening all of that. I am making a shorter recipe here, so that you don’t have to pre-make anything.

Instead, I use a combination of Kashmiri chili powder and ginger-garlic paste to make a quick, Schezwan sauce substitute that works beautifully in this recipe. 

I obviously use a lot of Kashmiri chili powder these days in my recipes. It’s a good investment if you get the real deal. Like any other chili powder, you can substitute paprika here, but the flavors of the chilies vary significantly, so I definitely recommend getting your hands on some Kashmiri chili powder. To add some protein, I use some quinoa along with the rice. You can add some shredded tofu or top with crisped tofu as well.

  • easy, one-pan meal

The crispy tofu with the stir fry veggies like peppers and onions is fabulous. The sauce gets its heat from sambal oelek or sriracha sauce along with plenty of ginger and garlic to give it an amazing flavor.
