Servings: 2

Ingredients

• 8 oz. (227 g) vegan "beef" strips, such as President's Choice Meatless Beef Strips, Yves "Beef Tenders", Morningstar Farms Meal Starters Steak Strips, or Lightlife Smart Menu Steak Strips (or a good "beefy" seitan" cut into strips would also work)
• 1/8 tsp. garlic powder or granules freshly-ground black pepper to taste
• 1 Tbs dark or mushroom soy sauce
• 1 Tbs vegetarian "fish sauce" (see below), or Bragg's Liquid Aminos
• 1 Tbs oil (Chinese cold-pressed peanut oil, if possible)
• 1 clove garlic, crushed
• 2 small ripe tomatoes, thinly-sliced
• 1/3 cup water
• 3 small green onions, chopped
• about a tablespoon more of vegetarian "fish sauce" or alternate, according to taste more freshly-ground black pepper to taste

Preparation

1. Combine the strips with the garlic granules, black pepper to taste, dark soy sauce and "fish sauce".

2. Heat oil in a nonstick skillet or stir-fry pan. When hot, add the strips, crushed garlic, and the marinade.
   
3. Stir-fry until the strips start to brown. Add the tomatoes, green onions, and water and stir-fry just until the tomatoes soften.
   
4. Taste to see if it needs more pepper, and/or "fish sauce".
5. Serve immediately.
