Here’s another one for the Meatless Mondays file. This simple recipe couldn’t be more delicious or easier to make. The salty and sweet flavors from the fish sauce and oyster sauce come together beautifully with the heat from the chili-garlic sauce. A touch of sherry enhances the flavors and aroma in this dish resulting in a gorgeous dish.

Served over some hot, steaming jasmine rice or quinoa, this dish is a complete meal chock full of soy protein. Eliminate the chili-garlic sauce if you’re cooking for young kids.
