Choose an unbreaded plant-based cutlet and cook it according to its package - ignore the recipe's raw-chicken cooking times and temperatures - then use it where the cooked chicken goes.
2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 tsp sesame oil

For the sauce

3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
1 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tbsp hoisin sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
