Servings: 4
Calories: 319kcal
Ingredients
- 1.5 tbsp Asian sesame oil
- 300 grams Paneer cubed
- 100 grams Bell peppers chopped into bite sized pieces
- 1 cup Onion chopped into bite sized pieces
- 2 tbsp Garlic minced
- 1 tsp Ginger chopped finely
- 1/2 tsp cornstarch
Sauces
- 1/2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1.5 tbsp Sriracha sauce
- 1/2 tbsp Sweet chili sauce
- 1 tsp vegan oyster sauce
- 1.5 tsp Vinegar
- 2 tsp Tahini sauce
Seasoning
- 1/2 tsp Salt or to taste
- 1 tsp White pepper powder
- 1/2 tsp brown sugar or jaggery
Instructions
- Prep all the vegetables, cube the paneer if needed and combine the sauces, vinegar in a mixing bowl. Set aside.
- Heat a pan with oil. When the oil shimmers, add the garlic and ginger. Allow the garlic to become a light golden brown. The ginger will shrivel and wilt.
- Immediately, tip in the bell peppers along with the paneer. Give a quick stir, all the while, ensuring that the heat is at the highest.
- Stir in the sauce mixture along with salt, a pinch of brown sugar and ground white pepper. Mix quickly and thoroughly but gently. Take care not to break the paneer here.
- Sprinkle the cornstarch and once again, combine everything. Cook for 1 more minute. Serve hot.
Notes
1. Avoid overcooking the paneer. We are aiming for slightly browned edges. That is all.
2. Adding cornstarch towards the end gives this dish a glossy finish. I highly recommend it but feel free to skip if you are not a fan. A little goes a long way here. Please do not use more than the quantity I have given.
