Stir Fry Vegetables

  • 1 cup green beans trimmed
  • ¾ cup snap peas or snow peas ends trimmed
  • ½ cup red bell pepper thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup carrots julienned or cut into matchsticks
  • ½ cup shiitake mushrooms cleaned and sliced (use fresh or rehydrated dried)
  • ¼ cup water chestnuts sliced (canned, drained)
  • 5 baby corn halved (canned, drained)
  • ¾ cup broccoli or broccolini
  • ½ tbsp oil

Asian Stir Fry Sauce

  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce or Tamari for gluten-free
  • ¾ tablespoon brown sugar
  • ½ tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cold water + 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed into a cornstarch slurry

Instructions

  • Prep all vegetables and set aside. If using dried mushrooms, soak in hot water until rehydrated, then slice.
  • In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, brown sugar, hoisin sauce, and the cornstarch slurry until well combined.
    1 tablespoon soy sauce, ¾ tablespoon brown sugar, ½ tablespoon hoisin sauce, 1 tablespoon cold water + 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat with a small amount of oil.
    ½ tbsp oil
  • Add firmer vegetables like carrots, green beans, and mushrooms first. Stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes.
    1 cup green beans, ¼ cup carrots, ½ cup shiitake mushrooms
  • Add softer vegetables like bell pepper, snap peas, baby corn, and water chestnuts. Stir-fry for another 2 to 3 minutes until just tender but still crisp.
    ¾ cup snap peas or snow peas, ½ cup red bell pepper, ¼ cup water chestnuts, 5 baby corn, ¾ cup broccoli or broccolini
  • Pour in the sauce and stir well to coat the vegetables. Cook for 2 more minutes until the sauce thickens and everything is heated through.
  • Remove from heat and serve immediately with rice, noodles, or protein of your choice.
