Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked ham, diced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium carrot, julienned
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced (optional)
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, cornstarch, and water to make the stir fry sauce. Set it aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the cooking oil and swirl to coat the pan.
Add the broccoli florets, sliced red bell pepper, and julienned carrot to the pan. Stir fry the vegetables for 3–4 minutes until they start to soften but remain crisp.
Push the vegetables to one side of the pan and add the diced ham to the other side. Cook the ham for 1–2 minutes until it begins to brown slightly.
Pour the prepared stir fry sauce over the ham and vegetables. Stir everything together, ensuring the sauce evenly coats all the ingredients.
Cook for an additional 2–3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly and the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Remove the stir fry from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions, if desired.
Serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
