A quick and healthy vegan stir fry featuring fresh spring vegetables coated in a bright ginger-sesame sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 pound mixed spring vegetables (asparagus, snap peas, new carrots, broccoli florets)
  • 4 scallions, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce or tamari
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water (slurry)
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup water or vegetable broth
  • Optional: Toasted sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, maple syrup, and water or broth. Set aside.
  2. Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the harder vegetables (carrots, broccoli) and stir fry for 3 minutes.
  4. Add the asparagus and snap peas. Continue to stir fry for another 3 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
  5. Push the vegetables to one side of the wok. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the empty space and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Stir the vegetables and aromatics together.
  7. Pour the prepared sauce mixture over the vegetables. Bring to a simmer.
  8. Whisk the cornstarch slurry again and pour it slowly into the simmering sauce, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens slightly.
  9. Stir in the chopped scallions and the toasted sesame oil. Cook for 1 minute more.
  10. Remove from heat and serve immediately, optionally topped with sesame seeds.

Notes

  • If you prefer a gluten free version, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
  • Cut thicker vegetables, like carrots, into thin diagonal pieces so they cook evenly with the other spring vegetables.
  • For extra protein, add 1 block of pressed, cubed extra-firm tofu during step 3.
