Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Broccoli florets
- 1 large Red bell pepper
- 2 medium Carrots
- 1 cup Snap peas
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 small Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
- 0.25 cup Orange juice
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 2 stalks Green onions
Instructions
Wash and prepare the vegetables. Cut the broccoli into florets, slice the red bell pepper into thin strips, peel and slice the carrots into thin rounds, and trim the ends off the snap peas.
Mince the garlic and grate the ginger. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, lemon juice, soy sauce, cornstarch, and honey. This will be the citrus sauce.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the broccoli, carrots, and red bell pepper to the pan. Stir-fry for 5-6 minutes, or until the vegetables begin to soften but remain crisp-tender.
Add the snap peas to the pan and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Pour the citrus sauce over the vegetables. Stir well to evenly coat the vegetables and cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.
Turn off the heat and sprinkle the stir fry with sesame seeds and chopped green onion for garnish.
Serve immediately as a standalone dish or over cooked rice or noodles.
