Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 medium carrot
- 0.5 whole red bell pepper
- 0.5 cup snap peas
- 1.5 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
- 0.5 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 1 stalk green onion
- 1 cup cooked rice or noodles (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Peel and finely mince the garlic. Peel and grate the ginger. Set both aside.
Chop the broccoli into bite-sized florets, slice the carrot into thin rounds, and thinly slice the red bell pepper into strips.
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), cornstarch, and water. Stir until the cornstarch dissolves completely and set the sauce aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and swirl to coat the pan.
Add the garlic and ginger to the pan. Stir-fry for 30 seconds, until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.
Add the broccoli, carrot, red bell pepper, and snap peas to the pan. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Pour the sauce over the vegetables and stir well to coat. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Remove the stir fry from the heat and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Thinly slice the green onion and sprinkle it over the dish as a garnish.
Serve the veggie stir fry immediately, plain or over cooked rice or noodles, if desired.
