Veggie Stir Fry (EASY)

Plan Z Phase: This is a Z3 (ZReboot) recipe.

This colorful dish is super simple to make. You can include whatever assortment of veggies you like. I’ll give you a list of suggested options. You can serve this with something cooked on the grill; chicken, fish, or even steak. For a light dinner, I might go crazy and serve this with a chicken eggroll or two instead of the other protein. That’s my favorite option. I have dinner ready in under 20 minutes.

Servings: Serves 2. Can be doubled easily.

Ingredients:

• 3-4 cups of assorted veggies. Options include: bell pepper (red, yellow, green, and even purple. These I cut into strips) snap peas or snow peas, sliced carrots, sliced mushrooms, broccoli florets, baby corn, water chestnuts, onions, bok choy, celery, zucchini. You choose as many options as you like. Just make sure it’s about three to four cups total.
• 1 Tbl olive oil.

For the sauce:

• 1/4 cup of tamari, coconut aminos, or Bragg’s aminos (last resort use soy sauce)
• 3 tsp of minced garlic (jar garlic will work)
• 1 tsp of sesame oil
• 1/2 cup of chicken or vegetable broth
• 2 tsp of cornstarch
• 1 cup of cashews (roasted and salted work great)
• 1/4 cup of chopped green onions (optional)

Instructions:

In a skillet or sauté pan add the olive oil and heat on medium-high. Add your veggies and sauté for two to three minutes until veggies are almost tender. Stir to keep mixing them up and get them cooked on all sides

While that’s cooking, in a small bowl add the soy sauce, garlic, sesame oil, broth, and cornstarch. Stir to mix it all in and make sure the cornstarch does not leave lumps. You can also stir the cornstarch into a small amount of the broth first. That helps keep you from having lumps. Pour the sauce over the veggies and cook until the sauce has thickened.

At the last minute, stir in the cashews. They give it a nice extra crunch. When serving you can garnish with the chopped green onions. Enjoy!

Cheers!
