Healthy Vegetable Stir Fry

This easy weeknight (or weekend) dinner comes together in about 20 minutes with a plethora of veggies with a tiny bit of sesame oil until vibrant and crisp, toss them with our favorite sweet and spice soy-based sauce and serve over rice. 

Course: Main Course
Cuisine: Asian

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup quartered portabello mushrooms
  • 1 cup sliced red bell pepper
  • 1/2 medium onion, sliced
  • 1 cup asparagus, cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 1 cup baby corn, cut into 2-innch pieces
  • 1 cup Snow peas
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 3 large garlic cloves, sliced
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp mirin
  • 2 tsp sambal oelek
  • 2 tsp cornstarch (optional)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Turn the wok to the highest setting. Let it heat for about 5 minutes while you prep the veggies.
  2. Once the wok is very hot. Drizzle the sesame oil in the skillet. Add the broccoli. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until bright green and slightly softened. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Add the bell pepper, onion, and mushrooms. Stir-fry another 3-4 minutes until everything starts to slightly soften. Season again with a little pinch of salt and pepper.
  4. Add the carrots, baby corn, snow peas, asparagus, and garlic. Continue to stir-fry until the asparagus is bright green, slightly softened, but still crisp, another 2-3 minutes. Season one more time with a little bit of salt and pepper.
  5. While the veggies finish, add soy sauce, mirin, and sambal oelek (also corn starch if using) to a small bowl. Whisk to combine. If you want a thicker sauce that coats the veggies really well, add the cornstarch. If you like a looser sauce that drips down to the rice, leave it out.
  6. Pour the sauce over the veggies, stir-fry another 2-3 minutes until the sauce coats the veggies. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and more sambal oelek if desired. Serve over rice.
