Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 medium onion cut into fairly thin strips
  • 2 cups broccoli cut into small florets
  • 1 red bell pepper cut into thin strips
  • 5 ounces mushrooms sliced
  • 1 cup snow peas or sugar snap peas
  • For serving: chopped scallions optional, to taste

Sauce:

  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 3-4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (or rice vinegar)
  • 1/2 cup vegetable broth (or chicken broth)
  • 1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Instructions

  • If making rice or noodles to serve with this stir fry, get that started. Prep all stir fry ingredients ahead of time as the actual cooking part goes very quickly.
  • Add the sauce ingredients to a bowl and whisk together thoroughly.
  • Add the olive oil to a large skillet over high heat. Let the pan heat up for a few minutes (oil should be shimmering).
  • Add the onion, broccoli, bell pepper, mushrooms, and snow peas, and cook for 4-5 minutes, tossing/stirring often (they will end up tender-crisp).
  • Pour the sauce in. Stir/toss until coated and the sauce has thickened (about 1-2 minutes). Take the skillet off the heat and serve immediately over rice or noodles or as a side dish. Top with scallions if desired.
