Ingredients

About 4 pounds stir fry veggies- baby corn, squash, pea pods, water chestnuts, carrots, peppers, broccoli, mushrooms, etc.


Stir Fry Sauce:

1 tbsp corn starch

2 tbsp cold water

1/4 cup veggie, chicken, or mushroom broth

3 tbsp low sodium soy sauce

1/4 cup honey

1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes


Oil or fat for cooking

Description

Cook in batches if needed.

Directions

If your veggies are thawed from frozen, lay them out on a towel to absorb excess moisture before moving to a bowl. If they are fresh, par cook them, then lay out on a towel to dry.

Rub oil over the wok and heat it up until it starts to smoke. Turn off the heat and start getting everything ready. Get everything else ready before you start cooking.

Make sides first and keep them warm in the oven while you make the stir fry.
Sides going into oven

In a bowl or measuring cup, whisk together corn starch, water, broth, soy sauce, honey, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.

Add oil to your wok and heat to medium heat.

Add veggies and cook, stirring frequently, just until hot and starting to get tender.
Whisk the stir fry sauce again if necessary and pour over everything. Stir to combine.

Turn the heat up and bring to a boil; cook until the veggies are cooked and the sauce thickens, stirring occasionally.
