Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons of high-heat neutral oil
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 3 carrots, thinly sliced
- 1 pint of mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cups of frozen or steamed broccoli florets
- ½ cup low sodium soy sauce (use ¼ cup if using regular soy sauce)
- 2 tablespoons of cornstarch
- ⅓ cup of water
- ¼ cup of rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons of brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon of sesame oil (optional)
- 2 tablespoons of ginger, minced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1-2 teaspoons of sriracha
- ½ cup of unsalted peanuts
- red pepper flakes to taste, garnish (optional)
- 1 bunch green onion, sliced (optional)
Instructions
- 1. Heat the oil in a large pan over high heat. Add the bell peppers, carrots, and mushrooms. Lower the heat to medium and saute for 5 minutes. Regularly mix to prevent them from burning.
- 2. In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, cornstarch, water, rice vinegar, sugar, sesame oil (if using), ginger, garlic, sriracha, and peanuts, and add it to the pan.
- 3. Mix the sauce onto the vegetables and add the broccoli. Continue to mix until the sauce comes to a light boil and thickens. Turn off the heat, cover with a lid, and allow it to sit for 5 minutes.
- 4. Optionally add in the green onions mix, and serve.

Notes
- Optionally serve over rice or noodles.
- Optionally serve over rice or noodles.
- Use super fresh vegetables: This creates the freshest, most delicious stir-fry.
- Cut the veggies evenly: Even-sized pieces will ensure even cooking.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: Otherwise, the veggies will steam rather than caramelize at all.
- To adjust the heat: Adjust how much hot sauce and red pepper flakes you add and/or the types of chilies you use (if using any).
