vegan sesame chicken

This Vegan Sesame Chicken is saucy, sticky, and perfectly sweet. A delicious gluten-free + plant-based take on the classic Honey Sesame Chicken. 

Vegan Sesame "Chicken"

(115 g) dried soy curls (see note for substitutions)

green onions, sliced; white and green parts separated

garlic, minced

(120 ml) vegan chicken-flavored broth (or sub vegetable)

(60 ml) low-sodium tamari

rice vinegar

arrowroot powder or cornstarch

sesame seeds

vegetables

Prep the Soy Curls

Bring 3 cups (700 ml) of water to a boil in a pot. Add the soy curls to a large glass bowl, then carefully pour the water over the soy curls. Let soak for 7 to 10 minutes, then drain. Press the soy curls thoroughly to remove excess water. In the meantime, measure and prepare all remaining ingredients

Sauté

add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil to a pan over medium-high heat; once warm, add white portions of the green onions and the garlic. Cook for 60 seconds, then add the rehydrated soy curls. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally to brown the soy curls.

Prep the Sauce

while the soy curls sauté, mix the broth, tamari, maple syrup, and vinegar together in a small bowl. Whisk the arrowroot powder or cornstarch into the sauce; keep mixing until it is completely dissolved.

Combine

Pour the sauce into the pan with the soy curls, mixing everything together well to avoid any clumping of the sauce. Sauté for 3 to 5 minutes, until the sauce has thickened to your liking.

Serve

Divide the soy curls into serving bowls over rice and vegetables (or as desired). Serve warm; leftovers will last in the fridge for up to 5 days and are best reheated on the stovetop.

Reminds of a soy curl dish at Kung Pow in Portland! Excited to make it at home now.

This was absolutely delicious. I only used 1T maple syrup because I don’t like sweetness. 
Very easy to make. I’ll be making this again and again.
