Veggie Stir Fry


ARUBA.....JAMAICA....WHOO I WANNA TAKE YA....Yup that's right - we are heading out to Aruba!!  Needed a quick meal while we were packing, so Rossy made up this yummy meal!  We had it with chicken and rice - but you could easily not put meat in it OR add some streak / shrimp!  Super good!!

Serves 4-6: OBB Cookbook


Ingredients:
1/4 cup beef broth
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4-1/2 teaspoon Sriracha sauce
1-2 teaspoons sesame oil, divided
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
2 teaspoons minced fresh garlic
1/2 small red onion, sliced
1 12-ounce package fresh or frozen vegetables (like a stir-fry mix or broccoli)
Kosher salt to taste
Sesame seeds

Whisk together the beef broth, soy sauce, Sriracha, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, and honey. Set aside.

Heat 2 tablespoons canola oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. When very hot, add the onions, ginger, and garlic in that order and stir fry for about 20 seconds. Add the veggies and stir fry for 2-3 minutes or until the veggies are dark and bright but still crisp. Add the sauce and stir fry for another 2-3 minutes or until the veggies are tender-crisp. Transfer to a serving dish and drizzle with another 1/2-1 teaspoon sesame oil and sprinkle with kosher salt to taste and sesame seeds.

*Variation: To make this a meal, add thin slices of steak or chicken breast before you add the onions.  Serve with noodles or rice.
