Ingredients

Scale

For the Stir Fry:

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 3/4 cup bell peppers, sliced (red and yellow)
  • 1 cup snow peas, trimmed
  • 1/2 cup water chestnuts, drained and sliced
  • 3/4 cup baby corn, drained and sliced
  • 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Stir Fry Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup vegetable broth (or chicken broth/water)
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch

Instructions

1. Prepare the Sauce

  • In a small bowl, whisk together vegetable broth, soy sauce, honey, and cornstarch until smooth.
  • Set aside for later use.

2. Heat the Oil and Aromatics

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  • Add minced garlic and ginger and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

3. Cook the Vegetables

  • Add sliced carrots and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Add mushrooms, broccoli florets, and bell peppers. Stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes.
  • Add snow peas, water chestnuts, and baby corn, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until all vegetables are tender-crisp.

4. Add the Sauce

  • Pour the prepared sauce over the vegetables.
  • Stir well to coat everything evenly.
  • Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and clings to the vegetables.

5. Season and Serve

  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles, or enjoy on its own!

Notes

  • For a spicier stir fry, add red pepper flakes or sriracha to the sauce.
  • Make it gluten-free by using tamari or coconut aminos instead of soy sauce.
  • Swap vegetables based on what you have—zucchini, bok choy, or asparagus work well.
  • Add protein like chicken, tofu, or shrimp for a heartier dish.
