Cuisine: Asian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 2 cups mixed vegetables
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- Cooked rice for serving
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by washing and chopping mixed vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Grate fresh ginger using a microplane or fine grater.
- In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, and grated ginger to create the stir fry sauce. Set aside.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large wok or wide skillet over medium-high heat until the oil shimmers and is very hot.
- Add mixed vegetables to the hot pan, stirring quickly to ensure even cooking. Stir fry for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender and slightly caramelized.
- Pour the prepared honey-ginger sauce over the vegetables, tossing continuously to coat evenly and allow the sauce to slightly thicken.
- Drizzle sesame oil over the stir fry and give a final quick toss to distribute the nutty flavor.
- Remove from heat immediately to prevent overcooking and maintain vegetable crispness.
- Serve hot over steamed rice, ensuring each serving gets an equal amount of vegetables and sauce.
Tips
- • For the most vibrant and crisp vegetables, ensure your wok or pan is super hot before adding ingredients. This creates that perfect restaurant-style caramelization. • Use fresh ginger for the most intense flavor - pre-grated or jarred ginger won't give you the same punch. • Cut vegetables into uniform, bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking. • Don't overcrowd the pan - cook in batches if needed to maintain high heat and prevent steaming instead of stir-frying. • For extra protein, consider adding tofu, chicken, or shrimp before the vegetables. • Let the sauce reduce slightly to create a glossy, clingy coating on your vegetables. • Serve immediately for the best texture and temperature - stir fries wait for no one!
