Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups mixed vegetables
- 1 onion
Flavor Enhancers:
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
Cooking and Seasoning:
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Prep your colorful array of vegetables into uniform, bite-sized chunks for even cooking.
- Fire up a wok or large skillet to 375°F with 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, watching for a shimmering surface.
- Drop 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger into the hot oil, stirring rapidly for 30 seconds until their aroma blooms.
- Slide 1 sliced onion into the pan, letting it soften and turn translucent over 2-3 minutes.
- Introduce 2 cups of mixed vegetables, tossing them energetically for 5-6 minutes to maintain their vibrant color and crisp texture.
- Drizzle 2 tablespoons soy sauce and 1 tablespoon oyster sauce across the vegetables, coating them thoroughly with quick, sweeping motions.
- Taste and season with a pinch of salt and pepper, adjusting to your preferred flavor profile.
- Remove from heat and scatter 1 teaspoon sesame seeds across the top for a delicate, nutty finish.
Notes
- Cut all vegetables into similar-sized pieces to ensure even cooking and consistent texture.
- Use a high-heat oil like peanut or vegetable oil to prevent burning and achieve a crisp vegetable surface.
- Work quickly and keep vegetables moving constantly in the pan to maintain their bright color and prevent sticking.
- For a gluten-free version, replace traditional soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos to keep the same rich flavor profile.
