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
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.
