Sarah's Easy Vegetable Stir-Fry

Sarah's Easy Vegetable Stir-Fry

This is a Chinese-style stir-fry with a brown sauce. You can use any combination of your favorite vegetables. The sauce can be made ahead of time, so you can easily just stir-fry the veggies and add in the sauce. Add chicken, beef, or (my favorite) fried tofu. This recipe is easily adaptable to use your favorite vegetables – just chop enough to completely fill your large skillet. Garnish with chow mein noodles.

Ingredients

Vegetables

  • 3 tablespoons peanut oil, or more as needed
  • ½ head cabbage, coarsely chopped
  • 1 bunch asparagus, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 cups sliced carrots
  • 1 (8 ounce) package fresh broccoli florets
  • 2 cups snow peas
  • 2 cups diagonally sliced celery
  • 2 cups cooked white rice

Sauce

  • 3 ½ cups cold water
  • 2/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 5 tablespoons vegetarian beef-flavored bouillon
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 ½ tablespoons white sugar
  • 4 teaspoons bottled minced garlic
  • 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes, or more to taste

Directions

Step 1
Combine water, soy sauce, bouillon, cornstarch, sugar, garlic, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, and red pepper flakes in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Whisk until cornstarch is fully dissolved, about 3 minutes. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Boil until thickened and reduced by a third, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 2
Pour peanut oil into a large skillet or wok. Add cabbage, asparagus, carrots, broccoli, snow peas, and celery. Saute over medium-high heat until tender but not mushy, stirring with a spatula, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to low; pour sauce over vegetables and stir until completely coated. Serve over rice.
