Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium vegetable stock
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 1/2 pound shiitake mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 large carrot, grated
  • 1 cup sugar snap peas or snow peas

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, vegetable stock, and cornstarch. Set aside.
  2. Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the shiitake mushrooms, bell peppers, ginger, and garlic. Cook, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes.
  4. Add the carrots and snap peas and cook for 2 more minutes, stirring constantly.
  5. Stir in the soy sauce mixture. Cook for 2 more minutes, until the sauce comes to a boil and thickens.

Notes

- Don't overcrowd the pan! Cook vegetables in batches if necessary to ensure they sear instead of steam, maintaining their crisp texture. - For quick prep, you can slice mushrooms and bell peppers a day ahead and store them in the fridge. - Add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the ginger and garlic for a spicy kick. - Serve immediately over brown rice or noodles for the best texture. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently in a skillet.
