Tonight we were running out of veg, so a simple Broccoli and "Beef" teriyaki.

Beef was from dried Soya Wadi from an Indian grocer. They are a dried and defatted soya product. Simmered those in a combo of spices and soy sauce and Marmite mixture.

Teriyaki sauce was: 1 cup of water, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 table spoons of brown sugar, some ginger and garlic. Warm it up then add a 2 tablespoons of cornstarch to a 1/4 cup of cold water and once mixed, dump into pot and simmer about 5-8 minutes till it thickens.

Ah, did not know, it was also referred to as Soya Wadi. I know them as "soy chunks" or well, Wikipedia calls it TVP: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Textured_vegetable_protein

In India you can find wadi of other dal/pluses as well. Split black lentil (urad dal wadi) and gram (besan wadi) also taste good.

Edit - amazon link for urad dal wadi, if you want to look at it.
