Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 cup carrots, thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
- 1 cup snow peas
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup mandarin oranges, drained (if canned) or peeled and segmented
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, for garnish
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the broccoli florets, carrots, and red bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables begin to soften.
Add the snow peas and minced garlic to the skillet. Continue to cook for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp and the garlic is fragrant.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, cornstarch, and water until smooth.
Pour the soy sauce mixture into the skillet with the vegetables. Stir well to coat the vegetables evenly. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Gently stir in the mandarin orange segments, being careful not to crush them. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to warm the oranges.
Transfer the Mandarin Vegetable Medley to a serving dish and garnish with sesame seeds.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
