    Master Taste Tester's Veggie Stir Fry

    By Chula King · Jul 23, 2016 · Updated: Mar 8, 2022

    Jump to Recipe

    The Master Taste Tester's quick Veggie Stir Fry is loaded with flavor, but light on the calories. It can be easily adapted to what you have on hand. Regardless of the variation on a theme, what makes this Veggie Stir Fry so special is his "secret" stir fry sauce.

    Veggie Stir Fry

    He used the following ingredients for the Veggie Stir Fry: Low sodium chicken broth, low sodium soy sauce, Hoisin sauce, Sriracha hot chili sauce, freshly grated ginger, cornstarch, carrots, onions, garlic, broccoli, mushrooms, snow peas, bean sprouts, and vegetable oil.

    Ingredients

    I decided to play Sous Chef for the Master Taste Tester. My job was to get everything ready so he could do his thing. This involved mixing together the ingredients for his "secret" stir fry sauce and cutting up the vegetables.

    After heating some oil in the Wok over medium high heat, the Master Taste Tester added the carrots and onions, and cooked them for about 4 minutes, until they were crisp tender.

    Next he added the garlic and cooked the mixture for about 30 seconds, until the garlic was fragrant.

    Then he added the mushrooms and cooked the mixture for several more minutes.

    After that, he added the broccoli, and continued to cook the mixture for several more minutes.

    Next, he added the snow peas, and continued cooking for another few minutes.

    This was followed by the addition of the bean sprouts, which by the way, I grew!

    After stirring the mixture, the Master Taste Tester added his "secret" stir fry sauce, and cooked the veggies until they were nicely coated and the sauce had thickened.

    For our appetizer, we had some of my delicious veggie spring rolls. For an incredible meal, we served this Veggie Stir Fry with steamed white rice. Yum!
