Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
- 2 medium carrots, julienned
- 1 cup snap peas
- 1 cup shiitake mushrooms, sliced
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons water
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix together the low sodium soy sauce, grated ginger, and cornstarch with 3 tablespoons of water. Set this sauce mixture aside while you prepare your vegetables.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the broccoli florets, sliced bell pepper, julienned carrots, and snap peas. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 4-5 minutes, or until they start to become tender but still vibrant in color.
Add the shiitake mushrooms to the skillet and continue to stir-fry for another 2 minutes, allowing them to soften.
Pour in the sauce mixture over the vegetables and toss everything well to coat, letting the sauce thicken for about 1-2 minutes.
Drizzle the sesame oil and add the sliced green onions. Stir quickly to combine everything and enhance the aroma and flavor.
Remove the skillet from heat. Serve the vegetable stir-fry hot, ideally over a bed of rice or noodles, and enjoy your healthy low sodium meal.
