Vegetable Stir-Fry
An excellent and delicious accompaniment or side to any meal, this dish is easy to prepare and is so pretty and colorful that it will tempt even the most fussy eater to give it a try.
Ingredients
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup green beans cut into 2-3 inch pieces
- 1/2 cup baby corn
- 1 large onion cut in half and sliced thin
- 2 carrots cut into strips
- 1 small red capsicum cut into strips
- 1 red or green chilli chopped
- 2 tbsp oil or melted butter
- 1 tsp ginger and garlic paste
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- salt to taste about ½ tsp
- 1 tsp black pepper powder
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tbsp lightly toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
- Clean and chop all your vegetables. Bring some lightly salted water to a boil in a big pan. Add in the carrot strips and green beans. Let them boil for 2-3 minutes, then add the broccoli, turn off the heat immediately and drain. This helps to partially soften the vegetables so it takes less time to stir-fry them. Pick out the broccoli florets and set them aside as they take the least amount of time to cook so they will be added last during the cooking process.In a wok or pan, heat the oil. Add ginger and garlic paste, stir fry for a few seconds, then add the sliced onions. Fry them until they soften. Now add the strips of capsicum and fry those for another couple of minutes on low heat. Next, add the chilli, carrot strips, green beans and baby corn. Sprinkle the salt and sugar.On low or medium-low heat, keep stir-frying the vegetables until they are nicely cooked but with a crunch to them still. If needed, you can add a little splash of water so the veggies do not get stuck as they cook. Finally add the broccoli florets, sesame seeds and splash in the soy sauce. Stir fry for another couple of minutes.Turn off the heat, squeeze in the lemon juice and adjust salt and spice to your taste.

Hi! Can I substitute cauliflower for broccoli? If I can, how do I go about pre-cooking that?
Hi, yes you can. Put the cauliflower in boiling water and boil for a few minutes to help it along. Then drain and use in the stir fry.
its very good …i will try it today.

oh and can i add mushrooms to this? i have canned mushroom. can i just discard the water from can and add straight to the pan and stir fry it?
thanx
Yes you can add mushrooms,
Yes you can add mushrooms, and yes, simply drain them (chop them if you like them sliced thinner) and add them in after the other veggies are about done as mushrooms do not take long to cook (plus since you are using them from the pan, they are already cooked). 🙂
