For this particular Chinese mixed vegetable stir-fry, I decided to use onions, mushrooms, carrots, peppers, and broccoli. This is a great time to try whatever vegetables are in season or you have on hand.

Chinese Mixed Vegetables Stir Fry
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon canola or grape-seed oil
- 2 tablespoons ginger (minced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon sambal oelek chili paste (optional)
- 6 cups chopped vegetables (such as broccoli, mushrooms, carrots, onion, peppers, etc.)
- 1 cup chicken broth (low sodium)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Nakano Natural Rice Vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- sesame seeds (optional garnish)
- salt and pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Pre-heat a wok or large, deep skillet over high heat. Add canola oil to the pan along with ginger, garlic and chili paste. Heat for 30 seconds or until fragrant.
- Add chopped vegetables to the pan and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Sauté for two minutes then add chicken broth. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to low and cover with lid to quickly steam the vegetables to soften, about 3 minutes. (You want them bright and crisp-tender, not overly cooked/soggy.)
- Stir in soy sauce, rice vinegar and sesame oil. Add additional salt and pepper to taste before serving. Garnish with sesame seeds if you wish.
