This vegetable
stir fry is a blend of colorful veggies cooked in a sweet and savory honey
garlic sauce that is two quick steps to make.
You won’t heat up the kitchen too much and you can enjoy fresh
veggies. You can use this as a side dish or serve over
rice for a complete meal. Remember to
cut the veggies about the same size so you can insure even cooking.
Vegetable
Stir-fry
- 1 tablespoon vegetable
oil
- 1/2 cup carrots peeled
and sliced
- 1 cup mushrooms sliced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 3/4 cup bell peppers sliced,
I used red and yellow
- 1 cup snow peas trimmed
- 1/2 cup water chestnuts drained
and sliced
- 3/4 cup baby corn drained
and sliced
- 2 teaspoons garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger minced
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup vegetable broth can
also use water
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons honey (try an herb-infused honey for a richer flavor)
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
Directions:
Heat the oil in
a large pan or wok over medium high heat. Add the carrots and mushrooms and
cook for 4-6 minutes or until tender. Add the broccoli, bell peppers,
snow peas, water chestnuts, baby corn and 2 tablespoons of water to the pan. Cook
for an additional 3-5 minutes or until vegetables are tender and water has
mostly cooked off. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for 30 seconds.
Season the vegetables with salt and pepper to taste.
In a bowl, whisk
together the vegetable broth, soy sauce and honey. Pour the soy sauce mixture
over the vegetables and cook for 30 seconds.
In a small bowl
mix the cornstarch with a tablespoon of cold water. Add the cornstarch and bring to a boil; cook
for 1 more minute or until sauce has just started to thicken. Serve
immediately, over rice if desired.
