Description

Broccoli Stir Fry highlights nutrient dense broccoli in a subtly sweet and gingery stir fry sauce. This dish comes together quickly, and is perfect for a weekend or a week night!


Ingredients

Scale

Stir Fry:

¼  cup chives, fresh or freeze dried

¼ cup scallions

2 Tbsp olive oil

2 cups lightly steamed broccoli (instructions and link to silicone steamer)

1 cup bell peppers, sliced

½ cup carrots, sliced thin

About 1 more cup of any other vegetables you have on hand or like (snap peas, water chestnuts, baby corn, bamboo shoots, celery, etc)

1 cup of cooked protein (I prefer tofu, tempeh, chicken or shrimp)

1 cup cooked brown rice to serve***can sub cauliflower rice

Sauce:

¼ cup apple cider vinegar

¼ cup maple syrup

2 Tbsp minced/grated ginger (about 1 inch)

2 tsp cornstarch or arrowroot starch

2 tsp miso paste

2 tsp low sodium tamari

Crushed red pepper to taste


Instructions

Stir Fry – To a large non-stick skillet,  add the green onions and chives sprinkle with a dash of salt, drizzle with 1 Tbsp olive oil, and cook  stirring occasionally for about 3-5 minutes or until scallions are soft and aromatic.

To Cook Broccoli – To a medium microwave-safe bowl, add the broccoli, cover with water, cover bowl with wax paper, and cook on high power for 3 to 4 minutes, or until broccoli is crisp-tender; don’t overcook. Drain and set aside.

Sauce – To a small bowl, add all ingredients and stir to combine; set aside.

After scallions and chives are cooked, remove them from the skillet and place in a medium bowl; set aside.

To the skillet, add the remaining 1 Tbsp olive oil.  Add the carrots, bell peppers, water chestnuts and any other vegetables (except for the broccoli) and sauté for about 2 minutes. Then add the sauce. Allow mixture to simmer uncovered over high heat for 3 to 5 minutes,.

Add the scallions, broccoli, and cooked protein of choice stir to combine, and cook for about 1 minute, just enough to rewarm the scallions and broccoli and coat with sauce.

Serve alone or over the top of brown rice or cauliflower rice.
