The Easiest Vegetable Stir Fry
Description
The Easiest Vegetable Stir Fry brings together a variety of fresh vegetables including sliced bell peppers, sugar snap peas, carrots, mushrooms, broccoli florets, baby corn, and water chestnuts to create a richly textured dish. Cooking begins with sautéing the vegetables in olive oil over medium-high heat until they're nearly tender, preserving their crunch and color.
A flavorful sauce made from soy sauce, garlic, brown sugar, sesame oil, chicken broth, and cornstarch is whisked together and poured over the vegetables. The sauce thickens quickly, glazing the vegetables with a slightly sweet and savory coating with subtle garlic and sesame notes.
This stir fry is finished with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for extra texture and flavor contrast. It makes a flexible vegetable side or a light main when paired with rice or noodles. The balance of crisp and tender vegetables with the glossy sauce creates an appealing plate that can complement a variety of protein dishes or stand alone as a vegetarian option.
