A detailed recipe with measurements is in the recipe card below.
Ingredient Notes
For soy curls, I used filet type dehydrated soy meat. I cut the filet into strips, but you could just use the filet whole, without cutting you if want.
Potato starch 片栗粉 is used to coat the soy curls for frying. It gives them a super crispy, chewy texture. If you don’t have potato starch, you can use cornstarch for the same effect.
Mirin is a type of rice wine with a slightly sweet, tangy flavor. It’s a staple ingredient for many Japanese dishes, especially since it pairs really well with soy sauce. It’s readily available at Asian supermarkets and on Amazon, but if you don’t have mirin, add tbsp of dry sherry or dry white wine , plus 1/4 tbsp of brown sugar.
Garlic scapes, ニンニクの芽 , are the long thin stems of the garlic bulb. They are similar to scallions, but have a more crunchy texture similar to asparagus. They’re delicious and add extra texture to this dish. If you don’t have garlic scapes, you can add asparagus or green onions instead.
How to make vegan Mongolian Beef
There are 4 main steps:
- Prepare the soy curls – if using dehydrated meat, re-hydrate it according to package. Coat them with potato starch.
- Fry – in a frying pan, heat the oil and fry the meat until crispy.
- Add the sauce – mix the ingredients for the sauce in a bowl, and add it to the frying pan.
- Simmer – cook until the sauce thickens.
To serve:
Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve over rice.
