Recipe Instructions:
-
Begin by blanching the broccoli and cauliflower in a pot of boiling salted water for 1 minute. Once blanched, drain them and set them aside for later use.
-
In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic cloves and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
-
Add the blanched broccoli and cauliflower, along with the snow peas, shiitake mushrooms, Chinese eggplants, and Japanese eggplant to the skillet. Cover and cook for approximately 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are almost tender.
-
Pour in the unsweetened coconut milk, soy sauce, and oyster sauce. Mix well to combine all the flavors.
-
Add the teriyaki-seasoned tofu, baby bok choy, and green onion to the skillet. Cover and continue cooking for about 2 minutes longer, or until the vegetables are just tender and coated with the flavorful sauce.
-
Season with pepper to taste, giving it a final flavorful touch.
-
Transfer the deliciously cooked vegetables to a large serving bowl, and serve immediately while still hot and fresh.
