Ingredients

Scale
  1. For the Stir-Fry:

    • 2 cups broccoli florets
    • 1 large carrot, sliced thinly on the diagonal
    • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (shiitake, button, or cremini work well)
    • 2 garlic cloves, minced
    • 1 tsp ginger, minced
    • 2 tbsp vegetable oil (or sesame oil for extra flavor)
    • 2 green onions, sliced (optional for garnish)
    • Sesame seeds (optional for garnish)

    For the Sauce:

    1. 3 tbsp soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
    2. 1 tbsp oyster sauce (or hoisin sauce for a vegetarian option)
    3. 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water
    4. 1 tsp sesame oil
    5. 1 tsp honey or brown sugar
    6. 1/2 tsp chili flakes (optional, for heat)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Sauce:

    • In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch slurry (cornstarch mixed with water), sesame oil, honey, and chili flakes. Set aside.
  • Stir-Fry the Vegetables:

    • Heat the vegetable oil (or sesame oil) in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
    • Add garlic and ginger, cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant.
    • Add the broccoli florets, carrots, and mushrooms. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are tender but still vibrant.
  • Add the Sauce:

    • Pour the prepared sauce over the vegetables. Stir to coat evenly.
    • Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the sauce thickens and the vegetables are coated.

 

  • Serve:

    • Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
    • Serve warm with steamed rice or noodles.

Notes

  • For a Vegan Option: Use hoisin sauce instead of oyster sauce.
  • For Extra Flavor: Add a tablespoon of rice vinegar or lime juice for acidity.

 

  • Optional Spice: Adjust chili flakes to your preferred spice level.
