Ingredients

Scale

For the Sauce

½ cup low-sodium vegetable broth (or chicken broth)
⅓ cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 ½ tablespoons minced fresh ginger
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon cornstarch
⅛ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for spice)

For the Stir-Fry

2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil, divided
2 cups bite-sized broccoli florets
2 large carrots, thinly sliced on the diagonal
8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
1 cup sugar snap peas or snow peas
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced into 1-inch strips
1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced into 1-inch strips
4 green onions, sliced (plus more for serving)

For Serving

Sesame seeds (optional)
Cooked brown rice, white rice, or quinoa

Instructions

1️⃣ Make the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the vegetable broth, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, cornstarch, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.

2️⃣ Cook the vegetables: Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli and carrots, stirring often, and cook for about 2 minutes.

3️⃣ Add more veggies: Pour in the remaining tablespoon of oil, then add the mushrooms and snap peas. Stir-fry for another 2 minutes.

4️⃣ Add bell peppers: Toss in the red and yellow bell peppers and stir-fry for 1 more minute, until the vegetables are almost crisp-tender.

5️⃣ Add the sauce: Whisk the sauce once more to make sure it’s well combined. Pour it into the pan with the vegetables, stirring constantly, and cook until the sauce thickens (about 1-2 minutes). Stir in the green onions.

6️⃣ Serve and enjoy: Remove the pan from heat and serve the stir-fry over rice or quinoa. Garnish with extra green onions and sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

✅ Customize your stir-fry – Add tofu, chicken, or shrimp for extra protein.
✅ Make it spicier – Increase the red pepper flakes or add sriracha.
✅ Don’t overcook the veggies – Keep them crisp-tender for the best texture.
