Stir Fry Veggies
These crisp-tender stir-fry veggies are our go-to side — we make a big batch alongside our teriyaki chicken or sesame chicken (both coming soon to the blog). One wok, a quick garlicky-sweet sauce, and a heap of vegetables that actually disappears at the table.
Ingredients
Veggies
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 3 red bell peppers, sliced
- 3 yellow bell peppers, sliced
- 3 cups sugar snap peas
- 3 cups carrots, sliced
- 3 cups mushrooms, sliced
- 6 cups broccoli
- 3 cups baby corn
- Water chestnuts (optional)
For the sauce (makes 2 cups)
- ¾ cup soy sauce (or liquid aminos for a gluten-free option)
- 9 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 tbsp brown sugar
- 3 tsp sesame oil
- 1½ cups chicken broth
- 3 tbsp cornstarch
- Chopped green onions and sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)
Method
- In a wok or large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the bell peppers, snap peas, carrots, mushrooms, broccoli, baby corn, and water chestnuts (if using). Sauté 2–3 minutes, until the veggies are almost tender.
- Whisk the sauce ingredients together, pour over the veggies, and heat until thickened.
- Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if you like.
