Ingredients
  

For the Stir Fry:

  • 1 large carrot sliced
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • One 8 oz can of miniature corn spears well-drained
  • 8 oz of sliced or quartered mushrooms either white or brown varieties
  • 1 whole bell pepper red, yellow, or orange, seeded and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons of a neutral cooking oil such as light olive oil or canola oil.
  • 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 garlic cloves peeled and minced
  • 2 tsp ginger minced

For the Stir-Fry Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup chicken broth or vegetable broth for vegetarian
  • ½ tsp cornstarch
  • 3 Tbsp low sodium soy sauce or Tamari for gluten-free
  • 2 Tbsp honey
  • ¼ teaspoon of your favorite spicy sauce optional; consider using Frank's RedHot or Sriracha for a kick.

Instructions
 

Prepare the Sauce:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the broth, cornstarch, soy sauce, honey, and hot sauce (if using). Set aside.

Cook the Vegetables:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  • Add the carrots and broccoli florets, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.
  • Add the baby corn, mushrooms, and bell pepper to the skillet, stirring frequently. Cook for another 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp. Remove the vegetables from the pan and set aside.

Sauté the Garlic and Ginger:

  • In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil and the butter.
  • Once the butter melts, add the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Combine Everything:

  • Return the cooked vegetables to the skillet.
  • Pour the prepared stir-fry sauce over the vegetables and stir well to coat everything evenly. Let the sauce simmer for 1-2 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly and enhance the flavors of the stir fry.

Serve and Enjoy:

  • Serve the vegetable stir fry immediately, either on its own or over a bed of rice or noodles for a complete meal.
