Impossible^TM Meatballs and Broccoli

Here’s a plant-based version of the classic Chinese dish: beef and broccoli. Now with Impossible™ Meatballs Made From Plants, you can make this restaurant standard at home in about 30 minutes. Now anyone choosing to eat plant-based meals won’t have to miss out on this marvelously savory and satisfying dish.

The recipe calls for several items that may not be in your pantry, but should be available in most large supermarkets or Asian grocery stores. Chinese broccoli is flatter than your everyday broccoli, and has thick, glossy leaves and thick stems. The taste is similar to regular broccoli, but is a bit sharper. It is sometimes called Chinese kale or, if you’re in an Asian supermarket, it may be under the name Gai Lan. But don’t stress if you can’t find it; regular broccoli is a great substitute.

Seasoned rice wine vinegar is the perfect product for this dish and is available widely. It has a fuller, more piquant flavor than regular white vinegar. In fact, you may end up preferring rice wine vinegar over regular vinegar for other recipes too, thanks to its versatility.

Sambal, which is a chili paste or sauce, should be found in the Asian foods section of your supermarket. And finally, togarashi spice mix is a Japanese spice mix of seven different spices, also available in the Asian foods aisle.

Enjoy this wonderfully flavorful dish!
