Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Broccoli florets
- 1 cup Carrots, thinly sliced
- 1 whole Red bell pepper, julienned
- 1 medium Zucchini, sliced into half-moons
- 1 cup Mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup Green beans, trimmed
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, minced
- 2 tablespoons Cooking oil (e.g., vegetable or sesame)
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1.5 tablespoons Sriracha or any hot chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey (or maple syrup for vegan)
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili flakes (optional, for extra heat)
- 2 stalks Green onions, sliced for garnish
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
Prepare all the vegetables by washing, trimming, and slicing them as described in the ingredients list.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sriracha, rice vinegar, honey, cornstarch, and water. Set aside for later use.
Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and ginger to the hot oil, stirring constantly for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the broccoli, carrots, and green beans to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes to soften slightly.
Add the red bell pepper, zucchini, and mushrooms to the skillet. Continue stirring for an additional 4-5 minutes until all vegetables are tender but still crisp.
Lower the heat to medium and stir in the prepared sauce. Toss to coat the vegetables evenly.
Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and clings to the vegetables.
If desired, sprinkle chili flakes for extra heat and stir to combine.
Remove from heat and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds, if using.
Serve hot as a standalone dish or alongside steamed rice, quinoa, or noodles.
