Cook time20 min

Crisp-tender cabbage and celery, earthy mushrooms, and crunchy bean sprouts all get their turn in a screaming-hot wok, each vegetable added in stages so nothing goes mushy. A glossy, savory sauce built from tamari, fresh ginger, and a touch of sesame oil pulls everything together into that classic take-out-style glaze, thickened just enough to cling to every bite. Green onions add a final pop of freshness right before serving, and the whole mix gets spooned generously over fluffy long-grain rice. It's fast, satisfying weeknight cooking with big textural contrast in every forkful. This one's a solid pick for a vegan dinner rotation, delivering all the familiar chop suey flavor without any fuss.

Chef's tip
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 neutral oil (such as avocado oil or canola oil), divided
3 stalks celery, sliced on the diagonal
2 cups green cabbage, thinly shredded
1 cup sliced mushrooms
2 cups bean sprouts
3 green onions, sliced (green tops only for low-fodmap; white and green for standard)
salt and pepper, to taste

For the sauce

3 tbsp tamari
1 cup chicken broth
Chef's tip
Use the same amount of low-sodium vegetable broth. The dish will be a little lighter in flavor than with chicken broth.
2 tbsp cornstarch
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp fresh ginger, finely grated
½ tsp sugar

For serving

2 cups long-grain white rice, uncooked

Instructions

1
Cook the rice according to package directions. Keep warm while you prepare the stir-fry.
2
In a small bowl, whisk together the tamari, chicken broth, cornstarch, sesame oil, grated ginger, and sugar until the cornstarch is fully dissolved and no lumps remain. Set aside.
