Plant-Based Sticky Asian ‘Mince’ Bowls with Noodles & Chilli Oil
Ingredients
Hoisin 'Mince'
- 200 g mushrooms roughly chopped
- 1 drizzle oil
- 400 g The Mighty Alternative Mince or other plant-based 'mince', store-bought
- 1 drizzle oil
- Asian garlic five spice (½ tsp Chinese five spice, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder)
- 150 g hoisin sauce see recipe below
Noodles
- 2 baby bok choy leaves separated
- 200 g rice stick noodles
- 100 g baby spinach
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil
To Serve
- 2 spring onions thinly sliced
- 50 g whole peanuts
- 4 tsp chilli oil
Instructions
- Before you start, bring a large pot of salted water to the boil with the lid on.
- Prep mushrooms, bok choy and spring onion and set aside separately.
- Heat oil in a large, non-stick fry-pan on medium-high heat. Cook mushrooms with a pinch of salt for 3-4 minutes, until softened and browned. Remove mushrooms from pan, set aside and reserve pan.
- Heat oil in reserved reserved pan on medium-high heat. Cook 'mince' for about 5 minutes, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and almost cooked through. Add Asian garlic five spice, cooked mushrooms and hoisin sauce (recipe below) and cook for a further 1-2 minutes, until sticky and cooked through. Keep warm.
- Add noodles and bok choy to pot of boiling water, stir, cover and turn off heat. Leave for about 6 minutes, until tender. Add baby spinach to pot, drain and rinse with warm water. Drain again, then return to pot with sesame oil.
- Serve noodles and 'mince' topped with spring onion, peanuts, remaining hoisin sauce and chilli oil (if desired).
