About this recipe

Tonight’s not the night to make a complicated recipe with sixteen different ingredients to chop. Who’s got the time? Tonight’s the night for a flavorful, plant-based dinner on your plate in ten minutes flat. With this stir-fry recipe, you’ll be surprised by how the simplest ingredients can produce such incredible flavor. All you need to do is chop some bell pepper, onion and garlic, scramble some JUST Egg and bring it all together with a savory, fermented black bean sauce.

Fermented black beans, also called salted black beans, fermented black soybeans, dòuchǐ or dau-see, are an incredibly versatile ingredient incorporated into many Chinese dishes for their unique, umami flavor. They’re available in most large grocery stores and Asian markets, but if you can't find them in stores, you can always order them online. Then, you can make these easy stir-fried vegetables and similar variations for weeks of cheap and incredibly delicious meals, whether a quick, healthy lunch or an easy weeknight dinner. This vegan stir-fry is very tasty when served with warm rice, but you can also pair it with wheat or rice noodles, or enjoy it on its own.
