Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Broccoli florets
- 1 large Carrot, thinly sliced
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, sliced into strips
- 1 cup Snow peas
- 1 cup Mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (low-sodium)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare all vegetables: cut broccoli into small florets, slice the carrot thinly, cut the red bell pepper into strips, trim and clean snow peas, and slice the mushrooms.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, sesame oil, water, and cornstarch. Stir to combine and set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the hot oil and stir fry for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.
Toss in the broccoli, carrots, and red bell pepper. Stir fry for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently.
Add the snow peas and mushrooms to the pan. Continue to stir fry for another 3 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Pour the prepared soy sauce mixture over the vegetables. Stir well to coat all the ingredients and allow the sauce to thicken slightly, cooking for 1-2 minutes.
Remove the stir fry from heat and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
Serve immediately as a side dish or over rice or noodles for a complete meal.
