Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables:
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 large carrot, julienned or thinly sliced
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
Aromatics and Seasonings:
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon honey or brown sugar
Cooking Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (optional, for thickening)
- Sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Warm a spacious skillet or wok to medium-high heat, drizzling vegetable oil across the surface until it shimmers with readiness.
- Introduce minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for 60 seconds to release their aromatic essence and create a fragrant foundation.
- Toss in broccoli florets, julienned carrots, and sliced mushrooms, vigorously stirring and tumbling the vegetables for 5-6 minutes until they achieve a vibrant, crisp-tender texture.
- Whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, and honey in a separate container, incorporating cornstarch to create a silky, glossy consistency that will elegantly coat the vegetables.
- Stream the prepared sauce over the sizzling vegetables, thoroughly coating each morsel and allowing the mixture to simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens and clings tantalizingly to the ingredients.
- Remove from heat, sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds, and present as a dynamic side dish or serve atop steamed rice or tender noodles for a complete, colorful meal.
Notes
- Chop vegetables uniformly to ensure even cooking and attractive presentation, preventing some pieces from becoming mushy while others remain undercooked.
- Adjust heat carefully during stir-frying to maintain crisp vegetable texture and prevent burning, using high but controlled medium-high temperature.
- Use tamari or coconut aminos for gluten-free version, replacing traditional soy sauce without compromising rich umami flavor profile.
- Select fresh, firm vegetables with vibrant colors to maximize nutritional value and enhance visual appeal of the stir-fry dish.
