Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1/2 cup water
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 3 cups red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 cup jicama, julienned
- Additional lemon zest for garnish
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, low sodium soy sauce, and water. Sprinkle in the cornstarch and stir until well combined. Set this mixture aside, as it will form the glaze for your vegetables.
-
Heat the Skillet: Place a large, non-stick skillet over high heat and add a splash of oil to coat the bottom. Allow the oil to heat until shimmering but not smoking.
-
Stir-Fry the Vegetables: Add the broccoli florets and red bell pepper slices to the hot skillet. Stir-fry for about 2 minutes, or until the vegetables begin to turn vibrant and tender.
-
Add the Jicama: Toss in the julienned jicama and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until all the vegetables are crisp-tender. This should take an additional 3-4 minutes.
-
Glaze the Vegetables: Pour the prepared glaze over the vegetables in the skillet. Cook, stirring constantly, until the glaze thickens and coats the vegetables evenly. This should take around 2 minutes.
-
Garnish and Serve: Remove the skillet from heat. Garnish the glazed vegetables with a sprinkle of additional lemon zest for a burst of fresh flavor. Serve immediately as a delicious side dish or a satisfying light main course.
