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.
