Instructions:
-
Begin by heating oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add finely chopped onion, minced garlic cloves, and grated ginger, stirring them until they turn fragrant and golden brown.
-
Incorporate sliced carrots and celery into the skillet, ensuring an even distribution. Cook while stirring occasionally for approximately 5 minutes until they slightly soften and become aromatic.
-
Introduce the sliced white button mushrooms, diced bell pepper, shredded red cabbage, and diced zucchini into the skillet, allowing them to cook for an additional 3 minutes until they start to tenderize.
-
Gradually add in mung bean sprouts, trimmed and halved green beans, fresh snow peas, bamboo shoots, sliced water chestnuts, and diced tomatoes, stirring gently to combine all the flavors. Let the mixture simmer for about 3 more minutes until the vegetables are tender yet retain their crispiness.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together water, soy sauce, and cornstarch until they form a smooth and consistent mixture. Carefully pour this sauce over the vegetable blend in the skillet, ensuring it coats all the ingredients evenly.
-
Allow the sauce to simmer and thicken, ensuring all the vegetables are coated in its flavorful goodness. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences, adjusting the seasoning as needed.
-
Once the sauce has reached your desired consistency and the vegetables are tender-crisp, your Vegetarian Chop Suey is ready to be served!
-
Serve this delectable concoction over a bed of freshly cooked brown rice, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully for a satisfying and wholesome meal.
