For the Sauce

  • 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce (see note)
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 inch fresh ginger minced

For the Stir Fry

  • ½ onion sliced
  • 1 bell pepper any color, sliced
  • 2 carrots sliced into coins
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 8 ounces mushrooms sliced
  • 2 cups snap peas
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 cup white rice cooked according to package

Instructions

Notes

  • Soy Sauce: Use an equal amount of tamari or coconut aminos for a gluten free alternative.
  • Cut the vegetables into similarly-sized pieces so that they cook evenly.
  • Sauté the vegetables until crisp-tender, not soft. This will prevent a mushy stir fry.
  • Let the sauce come to a simmer after adding it in order to allow the cornstarch to activate and thicken.
Storage: Store vegetable stir fry in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
