Description
A delicious stir fry sauce packed with vegetables.
Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup low sodium soy sauce
- ½ cup vegetable stock (or water)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- ½ tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1–2 teaspoons ginger (grated or minced)
- 1 tablespoon sugar or honey (more for a sweeter sauce)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- Pinch red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tablespoon neutral oil
- ½ cup yellow onion (thinly sliced)
- 8 ounces mushrooms (sliced)
- ½ cup carrots (sliced on the bias (diagonal))
- 8 ounces snow or snap peas
- 1 cup broccoli florets (bite-sized pieces)
- 1 red or yellow bell pepper (thinly sliced)
- 8 ounces canned water chestnuts, sliced (drained)
- 2 cloves garlic (thinly sliced or minced)
- 1 teaspoon ginger (finely chopped or minced)
Instructions
- The Sauce: whisk together the stir fry sauce ingredients and set aside.
- In a wok or large saute pan, heat oil over high heat. Add the sliced onion and mushrooms, let cook for 3-4 minutes.
- Add carrots, sugar snap peas (wait if using snow peas), and broccoli. Cook for 3-4 minutes.
- Add bell pepper, water chestnuts, garlic, and ginger (and snow peas, if using). Cook for 2 minutes, then stir in the sauce, starting with only 1 cup if you prefer it less saucy.
- Bring to a simmer and cook until thick and the vegetables are fork-tender and the sauce has thickened, about 3-5 minutes.
- Serve over rice or noodles. Garnish with green onions, cilantro, bean sprouts, a squeeze of lime, or sesame seeds as desired.
- Place leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months.
Notes
- Serve with rice or noodles as a complete meal.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more sugar or honey according to taste.
