Vegetarian Gluten Free Chop Suey

Crisp cabbage, celery, and mushrooms get stir-fried fast and hot until they hit that perfect crisp-tender texture, then bean sprouts and green onions go in for a final flash of crunch. The glossy sauce comes together with tamari, fresh ginger, and a touch of sesame oil, thickened just enough to cling to every piece in the wok. It all spoons over warm long-grain rice for a takeout-style dinner that's ready in the time it takes the rice to steam. This one's a solid pick for a vegetarian table, built entirely around vegetables and pantry staples rather than any meat playing a starring role. The wok technique here — high heat, quick additions, constant motion — is what gives the dish its signature snap, and it comes together just as well without anything more than what's growing in the produce aisle.

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.
