Recipe: vegan stir-fry with pulled oats
I’ve always loved eating, but my love for cooking is a little more fickle. One day I’ll be standing in the kitchen cooking an elaborate meal for myself on a drizzly Tuesday evening. The next, I simply have 0.0 desire to cook and my thumb is already hovering over one of the delivery apps. But I’ve come up with something for that now: 20-minute recipes.
Here’s how it works: I usually have something in the fridge, so I can skip the supermarket. If I can find a recipe that’s on the table within 20 minutes, there’s no reason to order in. Because: that’s much more expensive, and by the time you’ve chosen what to eat, the food has been prepared and delivered to you, those 20 minutes will have long since passed. In short: saving money and time. I love that.
Often vegetarian, sometimes meat
Something else I love: when something is (reasonably) healthy and preferably vegetarian. Am I a vegetarian? No (except once when I was eight, but back then I thought cheeseburgers were vegetarian—because cheese—so that doesn’t really count either). Flexitarian? If that’s what you want to call it, fine by me. I just call it: I often eat vegetarian food and sometimes meat.
Protein bomb
Tofu, tempeh, falafel—I love it all. And recently I’ve become hooked on something new too: Pulled Oats from Gold&Green, a meat alternative made from Nordic oats, fava beans and peas. Great texture and flavor, healthy, vegetarian and ready in no time. Plus, it’s a real protein bomb, with no less than 30 grams of protein per 100 grams. You get it: I’m a fan (and if you’ve seen this review, you know I’m not the only one).
You can combine it in all sorts of ways, but one of my “quick-healthy-no-delivery-app-needed” dishes is definitely this stir-fry with broccoli, bean sprouts, Pulled Oats and noodles in teriyaki sauce. De-li-cious. And on the table within 20 minutes. What more could you want?
Here’s how to make it:
- Heat the oil in a Dutch oven. Add the ginger, garlic, carrot and broccoli florets and stir-fry for 3 minutes. Stir occasionally.
- Add the Pulled Oats and teriyaki sauce and stir-fry for another 2 minutes. Keep stirring.
- Add the cooked noodles. Stir everything together and serve immediately!
- Garnish with bean sprouts, cilantro, sesame seeds and a lime wedge. Add the red chili pepper for an extra kick.
