Easy Vegetarian Stirfry

The only ingredient of animal origin in this stirfry is honey. I wonder if it could be substituted with syrup to create a completely vegan meal, but the distinctive taste of honey seems to be rather important, and anyway, I don't know any vegans so strict that they wouldn't eat honey. Soymeat can be omitted in this dish if you are going to serve it as a side vegetable dish of a meat containing meal, simply dilute the kikkoman and honey mixture with some warm water before adding the starch.

Easy Vegetarian Stirfry

Ingredients:
*dried soymeat pieces
*zucchini
*capsicum
*carrots
*kikkoman soy sauce
*honey
*garlic
*cumin seeds
*oil
*starch (potato starch or cornflour will do)
*salt

Method:
Boil the soymeat pieces according to the instruction on the packet. While they are boiling, in a bowl mix 2 or 3 minced cloves of garlic, kikkoman and honey. You should get slightly syrupy mixture. When soymeat has been boiling for the given time, drain it and put the drained pieces in the marinade you have prepared. While the soymeat is soaking up the marinade, cut all vegetables in strips. Drain the soymeat again and keep the marinade (you should get more than you started with, because soymeat is like a sponge and soaks up heaps of water when it is boiled and then releases it) Heat some oil in a wok and brown the soymeat pieces quickly, put them in a bowl. If wok looks dry, add some more oil and stir fry carrot and capsicum strips with some cumin seeds. Put them in the same bowl and in the wok stirfry the zucchini. Add a teaspoon of starch to the marinade, return everything from the bowl in the wok, pour the marinade over everything and stir for a couple of seconds. Done!
