Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 1 large yellow squash
- 1 ear (kernels removed) sweet corn
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup green beans
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 3 cloves (minced) garlic
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh parsley
Instructions
Wash all the vegetables thoroughly and pat them dry.
Slice the zucchini and yellow squash into thin half-moons. Trim the green beans and cut them into bite-sized pieces. Dice the red bell pepper into 1-inch squares. Halve the cherry tomatoes. Remove the kernels from the ear of sweet corn.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water to make the stir-fry sauce. Set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Toss in the green beans and red bell pepper. Stir-fry for 3 minutes until they begin to soften.
Add the zucchini, yellow squash, and corn kernels to the pan. Sprinkle with salt and ground black pepper. Stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Throw in the cherry tomatoes and pour the prepared stir-fry sauce over the vegetables. Stir well to coat everything evenly.
Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Remove the pan from heat and garnish the stir fry with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve immediately with steamed rice, quinoa, or as a standalone vegetable dish.
