Here’s our plant-based take on a classic Chinese-American dish: beef and broccoli. With our meaty and delicious Impossible™ Meatballs Meat From Plants, you can make this restaurant stir fry at home in about 30 minutes. The recipe calls for several items that may not be in your pantry, but should be available in most large supermarkets or Asian grocery stores.

Chinese broccoli, or gai lan, is a leafy green with long, edible stems, different from your everyday broccoli which has florets and a thick stem. Its taste is similar to regular broccoli, but is a bit sharper. If you can't find it, regular broccoli is a great substitute. Sambal, a chili condiment, gives this dish extra heat, tanginess and umami. Japanese togarashi also adds extra heat.

This recipe is made with Impossible™ Italian Meatballs Meat from Plants
