How To Make vegetable stir fry

  • 1
    Whisk the sauce ingredients in a medium bowl. Set it aside.
  • 2
    To make the stir fry, add the broccoli and water to a medium microwaveable bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and poke 2 small slits in the plastic wrap. Microwave on high for 1 1/2 minutes. Drain the water and place the florets on a paper towel to absorb excess moisture.
  • 3
    Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions, carrots, and mushrooms and cook until the onions are soft and the mushrooms are browned. Remove the vegetables to a plate and cover to keep them warm.
  • 4
    Add the remaining olive oil to the skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bell peppers and broccoli. Stir fry for a couple of minutes or until crisp-tender.
  • 5
    Reduce the heat to low. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute while stirring.
  • 6
    Add the water chestnuts and baby corn and stir to combine and warm. Add the sauce and cook over medium heat for a few minutes or until thickened.
