Crispy soya chunks tossed in fiery Indo-Chinese sauces, garlic, and crunchy veggies turn into a bold, protein-packed starter that disappears faster than you can plate it.

Ingredients

200 g soya chunks, boiled and squeezed dry 2 tbsp cornflour 2 tbsp all-purpose flour 2 tbsp oil 1 tbsp chopped garlic 1 onion, cut into cubes 1 capsicum, cut into cubes 2 tbsp soy sauce 1 tbsp chilli sauce 1 tsp vinegar

Step 2

Heat oil in a wok or pan on high flame and sauté chopped garlic until aromatic but not browned.

Step 3

Add onion and capsicum cubes and stir-fry quickly to keep them slightly crunchy.

Step 4

Pour in soy sauce, chilli sauce, and vinegar, mixing everything well on high heat.

Step 5

Add the fried soya chunks, toss until evenly coated with the sauce, and serve hot.
