Prep Time:  15 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

• Stir Fry Sauce (Customize it to your liking! If you want some extra spice, try adding sriracha. If you want a tropical flavor, use pineapple juice instead of water and a little less brown sugar. Be creative!)
  - 1/4 cup soy sauce
  - 1/4 cup water
  - 2 Tbsp brown sugar
  - 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
  - 2 cloves garlic, minced
  - 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
  - 1 Tbsp cornstarch
• Vegetables (Switch it up and choose your favorites! You can also add in protein sources like chicken, beef, pork, shrimp, tofu, noodles, scrambled egg, peanuts or cashews.)
  - 3/4 lb. broccoli
  - 2 carrots
  - 8 oz. mushrooms
  - 8 oz. sugar snap peas
  - 1 small onion
  - 1 red bell pepper
  - 2 Tbsp cooking oil
  - 1 tsp sesame seeds

Directions

1. Make the stir fry sauce first. Combine the soy sauce, water, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and cornstarch in a small bowl. Set the sauce aside.
2. Chop the vegetables into similar-sized pieces.
3. Add the cooking oil to a very large skillet or wok. Heat over medium-high. - When the pan and oil are very hot (but not smoking), add the hardest vegetables first: carrots and broccoli. Cook and stir for about a minute, or just until the broccoli begins to turn bright green.
4. Next, add the mushrooms and sugar snap peas. Continue to cook and stir for a minute or two more, or just until the mushrooms begin to soften.
5. Finally, add the softest vegetables, bell pepper and onion. Continue to cook and stir just until the onion begins to soften.
6. Give the stir fry sauce another brief stir, then pour it over the vegetables. - Continue to cook and stir until the sauce begins to simmer, at which point it will thicken and turn glossy. Remove the vegetables from the heat, or continue to cook until they are to your desired doneness.
