Ingredients
Scale
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 cup broccoli florets
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 carrot, thinly sliced
1 cup snap peas
1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
1 teaspoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add broccoli, bell pepper, and carrot. Stir fry for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender.
Add snap peas and mushrooms. Stir fry for another 2-3 minutes.
Push the vegetables to the side of the skillet. Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the cleared space and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, and honey.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water to create a slurry.
Pour the soy sauce mixture over the vegetables. Bring to a simmer.
Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes.
