Ingredients
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 cup, julienned carrots
- 1 cup, thinly sliced bell peppers
- 1 cup snow peas
- 1 tbsp, minced ginger
- 3, thinly sliced (white and green parts separated) scallions
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 clove, minced garlic
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp water
- 2 cups, cooked jasmine rice
Instructions
- Step 1: Whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and cornstarch in a small bowl until sugar dissolves. Set aside.
- Step 2: Heat a large skillet or wok over high heat until smoking. Add 1 tsp oil and swirl to coat the surface. Add broccoli and carrots, stir-fry for 3 minutes until vibrant green and slightly tender.
- Step 3: Add bell peppers and snow peas, continue stir-frying for 2 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender. Push vegetables to the side of the skillet.
- Step 4: Add minced ginger and white parts of scallions to the center of the skillet. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant, then mix with vegetables.
- Step 5: Pour the sauce mixture over vegetables, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens and coats all vegetables evenly (about 1-2 minutes). Add water if sauce becomes too thick.
- Step 6: Remove from heat, stir in green parts of scallions, and serve immediately over jasmine rice. The vegetables should retain their bright colors and have a glossy, well-coated finish with a balanced sweet-savory taste.

Solid recipe. Not groundbreaking but definitely making it again.
