Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz imitation crab meat
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium bell pepper, thinly sliced (any color)
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 medium carrot, julienned
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp water
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 2 stalks green onions, chopped
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Start by preparing the vegetables: thinly slice the onion and bell pepper, julienne the carrot, chop broccoli into small florets, and finely chop green onions. Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, cornstarch, water, and sesame oil until well blended. This will be your stir-fry sauce.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and let it heat for a minute.
Add the onions and garlic to the skillet, stirring constantly, and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the bell pepper, broccoli florets, and carrots. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables begin to soften but remain crisp.
Break the imitation crab meat into bite-sized chunks and add it to the skillet. Stir gently to combine with the vegetables.
Pour the prepared stir-fry sauce over the ingredients in the skillet. Toss everything together to coat evenly. Let it cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens.
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if using.
Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles, and enjoy your quick and flavorful Imitation Crab Stir Fry!
