Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound protein of choice (chicken, shrimp, beef, tofu, or tempeh)
- 4 cups vegetable medley (broccoli, bell peppers, snap peas, carrots, etc.)
- 2 tablespoons neutral oil (e.g., vegetable or canola oil)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 0.25 cup soy sauce or tamari
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce (optional)
- 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 4 cups cooked rice or noodles
Instructions
Prepare your protein by cutting it into bite-sized pieces. If using tofu or tempeh, press and cube it.
Wash and chop your vegetables into even-sized pieces for quick and even cooking.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), honey or brown sugar, cornstarch, and water. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the protein, season lightly with salt and pepper, and cook until browned and fully cooked (about 5–7 minutes for chicken, shrimp, or beef; 3–4 minutes for tofu or tempeh). Remove the protein from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the skillet. Once hot, add the garlic and ginger. Stir for 30 seconds or until fragrant.
Add the chopped vegetables to the skillet. Stir-fry for 5–7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender yet still crisp.
Return the cooked protein to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour in the sauce and toss everything to coat evenly.
Cook for an additional 2–3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the ingredients.
Serve the stir fry hot over cooked rice or noodles. Enjoy your homemade mix-and-match stir fry!
