Easy Stir Fry Recipe
Description
The Easy Stir Fry Recipe showcases fresh red and yellow bell peppers, sliced cremini mushrooms, broccoli florets, sugar snap peas, thin carrot slices, and green onions tossed in olive oil over high heat to retain crispness. The sauce combines low-sodium soy sauce with a hint of honey or brown sugar for sweetness, balanced by rice vinegar's acidity and toasted sesame oil's nuttiness. Freshly grated garlic and ginger add aromatic depth while cornstarch thickens the sauce to a glossy consistency that clings to the vegetables. Stirring continues on medium heat until the vegetables are crisp-tender and the sauce has thickened. The addition of optional red pepper flakes introduces mild heat, and the finishing touch of green onions and sesame seeds adds freshness and texture. This dish works well as a quick vegetable side or light main when paired with rice or noodles.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 red bell pepper stemmed, seeded, and sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper stemmed, seeded, and sliced
- 8 ounces cremini mushrooms stemmed and sliced
- 3 cups broccoli florets small
- 1 cup sugar snap peas

Stir Fry Sauce
- ½ cup water
- ⅓ cup soy sauce low-sodium
- 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil toasted
- 2 garlic grated, cloves
- 2 teaspoons ginger grated fresh

Instructions
- Make the stir fry sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the water, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, cornstarch, and red pepper flakes, if using.
- Make the stir fry. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the red and yellow peppers, mushrooms, broccoli, snap peas, and carrots and toss. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the vegetables soften slightly.
