Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare all vegetables before you start cooking. Once you begin stir frying, the process moves quickly.

  2. 2

    Mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil in a small bowl. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat until smoking. Add vegetable oil and swirl to coat.

  4. 4

    Add garlic and ginger, stir fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  5. 5

    Add broccoli and carrots first as they take longest to cook. Stir fry for 2 minutes.

  6. 6

    Add bell peppers, snap peas, and mushrooms. Continue stir frying for another 2 to 3 minutes until vegetables are crisp tender.

  7. 7

    Pour in the sauce mixture and toss to coat all vegetables evenly.

  8. 8

    Add the cornstarch slurry and cook for another minute until sauce thickens slightly.

  9. 9

    Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately over steamed rice.

Tips, Variations and Storage

Tips: Keep vegetables in uniform sizes for even cooking. Do not overcrowd the wok or vegetables will steam instead of stir fry. Variations: Add tofu for extra protein, or use any seasonal vegetables you have on hand. Increase or decrease ginger and garlic to your taste. Storage: Best eaten fresh but leftovers keep refrigerated for 2 days. Vegetables will soften upon reheating.
