Stir Fry with Veggie Steak Strips

My favorite kitchen toy is my wok. It makes stir fries come out terrific. I made veggies and Morningstar Farms Steak Strips with sesame garlic sauce. It took fifteen minutes flat.

Boil some water and add the broccoli. Boil the broccoli for four minutes to blanch. Drain. While the broccoli is blanching, heat some canola oil in a wok. Add leeks or onions. Sautee for a few minutes. Then add chopped eggplant. Add in some sesame garlic sauce, then portobello mushrooms, and then the broccoli. Finally, add about half a bag of Steak Strips. Cook for 3 minutes more. Mmmm yummy!

Oh, and the Chocolate Chip Cookies that I recommended from Sinfully Vegan... I take that back. My original batch replaced half of the maple syrup with organic white sugar and the cookies came out much better.

Sounds good to me. I think I'd do it without the steak strips (sorry, just not into fake meat) and sesame oil. Maybe I'll try that, once we unpack our wok. I know it's in a box, somewhere...

I use a Joyce Chen wok. It's fairly inexpensive and very easy to cook with.

Vegan knitter -- the chocolate chip cookies are from the recipe that calls for barley flour, page 24 I think. As is, the recipe is the kind of recipe that gives vegan baking a bad name.

The Morning Star site lists the Steak Strips as a discontinued product and I haven't seen them in stores lately. Furthermore, the Chick'N' Strips meal starters don't seem to be on shelves anywhere near me either. Please tell me somebody else has an alternative because this is going to cause great distress to my vegetarian diet as I love the things to pieces!!!!

Lucas -- try Trader Joe's. Last I checked, just a couple weeks ago, they have a private label version of the chick'n strips.
