Here is a shake and toss vegetarian chinese chilly dish. Soya, brocolli…but do get creative. sweet corn, shrimp anything goes.

Here is the quick run down.

• Cut brocolli as bite size pieces. Get the Soya ready (boil 5 min, strain in cold water)
• Make a paste of curd, ginger garlic paste, cayenne pepper, black pepper, salt, chinese 5 spice if you have it.
• Heat oil in a pan for deep frying
• Add the broccoli and squeezed soya chunks (to remove excess water) and coat well.
• Add 1/4 or 1/2 cup corn flour depending on quantity and coat well.
• Fry this in the hot oil and put on a kitchen paper to soak up any excess oil.

• In a pan fry garlic, onion and capsicum – sqaure pieces for the garlic and onions. today we ended up cutting it too small as we had something else in mind. I prefer spring onions but we did not have any today.
• Make a sauce with tomato sauce, chilly garlic or chilly sauce, soy sauce, vinegar.
• Add this to the mix and saute
• Add the soya chunks and Brocolli – shake and toss time!
• Make a cornstarch slurry and add at the end and toss/mix.
• Add green tops of scallions if you have any after you swiitch of the gas.
