Stir-Fry's are easy, satisfying and a great way to get rid of veggies that might otherwise perish in your fridge! You can add your favorite meat alternative like Meatless chick'n, beef or shrimp (try Vegan shrimp in the frozen section at Mother's Market or Whole Foods Market)!
Stir-Fry sauce:
1. 1/2 c low-sodium soy sauce OR liquid amino's (we love liquid amino's)
2. 4 t Vegan cane sugar
3. Juice from 1 fresh squeezed orange
4. 1/4 t garlic powder
5. 1/8 t ground ginger
6. 2 t sesame oil
7. 1/2 t red pepper flakes (optional)
8. Fresh cracked black pepper to taste
Add all 8 ingredients into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stir until the sauce begins to thicken. Turn off the heat and let stand.
Note: This makes 2/3 c Stir-Fry sauce, you may not need to use all of it, especially if you are watching your sodium intake. Spoon sauce over the Veggie Stir-Fry until you get the desired taste you want (we use approximately 1/3 c and serve extra on the side for those who prefer more).
Veggie Stir-Fry:
1 T canola oil or any other high heat cooking oil
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
Add your favorite meat alternative (optional)
1 c broccoli florets
1 c red, orange, yellow or green pepper (your choice)
1/2 c carrots, julienned
1/2 c chopped green onions (sliced white or red onions can also be used)
1 T white or black sesame seeds
Heat 1 T canola oil in a large frying pan or wok, over medium heat. When the oil starts to simmer, add the garlic and meat alternative (if using one). Stir-Fry for 2-3 minutes. Add the broccoli, peppers, carrots, onions, sesame seeds and any other veggies to your liking! Stir-Fry for approximately 5 minutes more (do not over cook your veggies)! Spoon sauce over the Veggie Stir-Fry until you get the desired taste you want.
