Ingredients
1 cup sliced red bell pepper
1 cup sliced yellow bell pepper
1 cup sliced orange bell pepper
1 ½ cups broccoli florets
1 cup snap peas
1 cup julienned carrots
½ cup baby corn
1 cup sliced shiitake or cremini mushrooms
½ cup sliced onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons water (for slurry)
Instructions
1. Wash, dry, and slice all vegetables before heating your pan.
2. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Set aside.
3. Heat sesame oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add garlic and ginger and stir for 30 seconds until fragrant.
4. Add broccoli and carrots first. Stir fry for 1 minute.
5. Add bell peppers, baby corn, mushrooms, snap peas, and onion. Stir fry for another 3–4 minutes.
6. Pour in soy sauce and the cornstarch slurry. Toss everything well and cook for 1–2 more minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the vegetables.
7. Remove from heat, garnish with sesame seeds or green onions if desired, and serve immediately over rice or noodles.
Notes
Always prep your vegetables before heating the pan to avoid overcooking.
For the best texture, don’t overcrowd the pan—cook in batches if needed.
Use high heat for authentic stir fry flavor and quick, even cooking.
