Vegetable Stir Fry
- Serves: 6
- Prep Time: 15 min
- Cook Time: 15 min
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 cup sliced crimini mushrooms
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 15-ounce can baby corn, drained (optional)
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 4 ounces snap peas
- 1 cup sliced zucchini
- 1 cup peeled and thinly sliced carrot rounds
- ½ cup low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
- ¼ cup brown sugar or honey
- Pinch red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch or arrowroot starch
- ¼ cup thinly sliced green onions
Method
Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once the oil is glistening, add the mushrooms, broccoli, baby corn, bell pepper, snap peas, zucchini, and carrots; toss to coat. Cook, stirring often, until vegetables are bright and just tender, 5-6 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, brown sugar and red pepper flakes, if using. In a separate small bowl, combine the cornstarch with ½ cup cold water. Stir the cornstarch mixture into the sauce.
Pour the sauce over the vegetables and toss to coat. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce has thickened and vegetables are tender, about 5 more minutes.
Divide among 6 plates and top with green onions to serve.
