Directions

Prep Time: 10 min

Cook Time: 15 min

Total Time: 25 min

  1. First, mix all the wet ingredients together in a small mixing bowl. Set aside. 

  2. In a large skillet, heat neutral oil (vegetable, canola, sesame) on high heat until shimmering, about 1 minute. 

  3. If using broccoli or another hearty vegetable, add to the skillet with salt and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until almost cooked through. 

  4. Then add all the other vegetables to the skillet with a pinch of salt. Cook on high heat until the onions are translucent, stirring often. 

  5. Once the onions are translucent, add the garlic (and ginger if using) until fragrant, about 1 minute. 

  6. Add the combined wet ingredients and stir well, reducing to medium heat. Cook for about 1 minute. 

  7. Remove from heat and serve with rice, noodles, or your favorite starch! Add a protein if available or desired (e.g., chicken, pork, beef, fried egg, tofu, etc.) Garnish and serve warm! 

Try something new and add 1 or more of these!  

  • Use any vegetables in your fridge! Don’t be shy, this recipe is a ‘catch-all’. 

  • Try adding some meat for added protein (e.g., chicken, pork, fried egg)
