Ingredients
 

Stir-Fry Sauce

  • ¼ cup vegetable broth or water
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari sauce
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons grated garlic
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Stir-Fry

  • 2 tablespoons high-heat vegetable oil, such as canola, avocado or peanut
  • ½ red or yellow onion sliced
  • 2 pounds mixed frozen vegetables (see note below)

Serve with your choice of :

  • Cooked plain ramen or rice noodles
  • Cooked rice
  • Baby spinach or kale greens

Instructions
 

Mix the stir-fry sauce:

  • Whisk all the ingredients together in a medium bowl.

Cook the vegetables:

  • Heat a wok or large (12-inch) skillet over high heat until the pan is very hot. Add the oil and wait until it shimmers (it should shimmer immediately if your pan is hot enough). Stir in the onion and cook 1 minute. Add the vegetables. Cook 5 minutes, stirring frequently, or until the vegetables are heated through.
  • Pour in the sauce and stir until the vegetables are coated. Cook until the sauce thickens and smells fragrant, 2-3 minutes.
  • Serve hot over rice, noodles and or greens.

Notes

  • Mix and match sturdy frozen vegetables such as carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, corn, edamame or choose a packaged blend.
  • There's no need to thaw the vegetables before cooking. Just throw them right in your screaming-hot pan!
  • For non-vegetarians, meat protein is delicious in this stir-fry. Cook a half pound of ground meat (such as turkey, pork or beef) sliced raw chicken or shrimp before cooking the onion in step 1.
