Instructions

  • For making any stir fry, the tip is to prep and arrange all ingredients next to the cooking station. This ensures you do not have to stop in the middle of stir frying to look for a particular ingredient.
  • Make a smooth, lump-free, slurry of cornstarch and water in a bowl. Keep it next to the cooking station.
  • Heat oil in a large frying pan or wok. Stir Fry ginger, garlic, coriander stalks, and onion till translucent and aromatic. This takes appriximately 1 minute.
  • Add the vegetables. Start with hard vegetables like broccoli, baby corn or carrot first, followed by peppers, and lastly leafy greens. Stir Fry each time for 1 - 2 minutes. Harder vegetables takes longer to get cooked.
  • Season vegetable stir with soy sauce, chilli oil, salt and pepper. Add cornstarch slurry. Stir Fry for 1 – 2 minutes or until vegetables get a delicious glossiness to them. Turn off the heat.
  • Garnish with spring onion and sesame seeds.
  • Vegetable Stir Fry is ready to serve.
