Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables:
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 cup mushrooms (shiitake, button, or cremini)
- 1 large carrot
Aromatics and Seasonings:
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 2 green onions
- Sesame seeds
Sauce Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
Cooking Oil:
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or sesame oil)
Instructions
- Craft the flavor-enhancing sauce by combining soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch mixture, sesame oil, honey, and chili flakes in a small mixing bowl. Whisk thoroughly until smooth and set aside for later use.
- Warm vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat, reaching approximately 375°F. Quickly sauté minced garlic and grated ginger for 30-45 seconds until aromatic.
- Introduce broccoli florets, sliced carrots, and chopped mushrooms into the hot pan. Toss vigorously for 5-6 minutes, ensuring vegetables maintain their crisp texture and vibrant colors.
- Stream the prepared sauce over the sizzling vegetables, rotating the pan to distribute evenly. Allow mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes, watching sauce thicken and glaze the vegetables.
- Remove from heat and transfer stir-fry to a serving platter. Sprinkle freshly chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds on top for added visual appeal and crunchy texture.
- Accompany the stir-fry with steamed jasmine rice or thin rice noodles, creating a complete and satisfying meal.
Notes
- Boost veggie crunch by cutting them into similar-sized pieces, ensuring even cooking and consistent texture.
- Prevent mushiness by high-heat cooking and not overcrowding the pan, which allows vegetables to sear instead of steam.
- Transform dish vegan by replacing oyster sauce with tamari or mushroom-based alternative sauce, maintaining umami depth.
- Enhance protein content by adding tofu, chicken, or shrimp during stir-frying for a more substantial meal option.
