  3. Dip in the soy milk oil mixture and then into the bread crumbs and spice mixture, air fry at 400F for 10-15 minutes or saute in a pan with a small amount of oil until crispy
  4. Combine all the sauce ingredients and then get the veggies into a large wok or saute pan with a lid to steam over medium to high heat (I microwave the broccoli for 1-2 minutes because that takes longer to cook, then add to the rest of the veg)
