Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil (or sesame oil)
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
• 1.5 cups Broccoli florets
• 1 cup Carrots, julienned
• 1 cup Snow peas, trimmed
• 1 cup Baby corn, halved lengthwise
• 1 cup Red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 cup Shiitake mushrooms, sliced
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce (or hoisin sauce for vegetarian)
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons Water
• 1 teaspoon Toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare all vegetables before starting to cook by washing, trimming, and cutting them into the specified sizes. This helps ensure a smooth cooking process.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, oyster (or hoisin) sauce, cornstarch, and water. Stir until the cornstarch is completely dissolved to create the stir-fry sauce.

Step 3

Heat a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and allow it to heat until shimmering.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and ginger to the hot oil and stir-fry for 30 seconds or until aromatic, being careful not to let it burn.

Step 5

Add the broccoli florets and carrots to the wok. Stir-fry for about 2 minutes, allowing them to begin softening.

Step 6

Add the snow peas, baby corn, red bell pepper, and shiitake mushrooms to the wok. Continue to stir-fry for an additional 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp but still vibrant in color.

Step 7

Pour the prepared stir-fry sauce over the vegetables and mix well to evenly coat. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and coat the vegetables.

Step 8

Remove the wok from heat and transfer the stir-fried vegetables to a serving dish.

Step 9

Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top as a garnish for added flavor and visual appeal.

Step 10

Serve immediately as a side dish, or pair with steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal. Enjoy!
