Instructions:
-
In a small bowl, combine cornstarch, sugar, and ground ginger. Stir in orange juice, soy sauce, and minced garlic until the mixture is well blended. Set aside for later use.
-
Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced carrots, broccoli florets, and cauliflower florets. Stir-fry the vegetables for 4-5 minutes or until they are crisp-tender and lightly browned. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
-
In the same skillet, add another teaspoon of olive oil along with the fresh mushrooms and both varieties of snow peas. Stir-fry for an additional 3 minutes, allowing the mushrooms to become tender and the snow peas to remain crisp.
-
Once the mushrooms and snow peas are cooked, return the previously set-aside vegetables to the skillet.
-
Give the orange juice mixture a final stir, then pour it into the skillet over the vegetables. Stir well to ensure all the vegetables are coated in the flavorful sauce.
-
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Allow it to simmer for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
-
Once the sauce has thickened, remove the skillet from the heat. Your Five-Veggie Stir-Fry is now ready to be served!
-
Serve the stir-fry hot over a bed of cooked rice for a satisfying and wholesome meal. Enjoy the burst of flavors and nutritious goodness in every bite!
