Vegan Chick'n Stir Fry






The other day I was in a serious mood to get some Chinese food.  Because where I work, theres a Chinese food place the food smelled good but the smell of the grease and knowing that its practically all empty calories is just such a turn off :/.  The only thing I usually order is moo goo gai pan, steamed and brown rice on the side.  But why buy it for $6 when I can make a better one at home? ;) so I decided to make one myself! :) 

Ingredients:
1. 7 oz of chicken style seitan (I used west soy) /4 chicken breast
2. 3 oz of baby bella mushrooms
3. 1/2 cup chopped Bok Choy
4. 1 tsp of extra virgin coconut oil
5. 1/4 tsp of extra virgin olive oil
6. 1 tsp of Braggs liquid aminos or low sodium tamari
7. 1/4 tsp garlic powder
8.  1/8 tsp of asian chinese five spice powder (can be found in most Asian groceries or Asian aisles)
9. 1/2 cup broccoli florets
10. 2 oz of baby carrots - chopped or shredded
11. 1/8 cup of chopped yellow onions
12. 1 garlic clove finely chopped
13. 1 tsb of whole sesame seeds
14. 1/4 ginger powder
14. cayenne pepper (optional) - i like hot & spicy food! I added cayenne and Pukka hot pepper sauce with it!

Directions:
1. drain the seitan, chop seitan / chicken into strips or cubes whichever you preffern :)
2. heat up cocunit and olive oil on a pan, saute the onions and garlic, don't let it burn.  until fragrant.
3. add in seitan / chicken, along with carrot slices, ginger powder & broccoli. Saute chicken for about 3-4 minutes, seitan 2 minutes.
4.  add in bok choy and mushrooms, saute for another 5 minutes on medium / low heat, do not overcook.
5. add in braggs, garlic powder, asian five spice, sesame seeds. you can add more to taste :)
6. serve with 1/2 cup of cooked rice or quinoa.
