Asian Vegetable Stir Fry
I wanted to make a healthy Asian vegetable stir fry to serve with the Ginger-Sesame Pork Chops that I was making for dinner. I grabbed red bell pepper, snow peas, broccoli, carrots, and shiitake mushrooms. I simply sautéed them in a little bit of canola oil and sesame oil and seasoned them with crushed red pepper flakes, sea salt, and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. I cooked them until they were still crisp-tender and bright & colorful. My kids loved these veggies with soy sauce drizzled on top.
How to Make an Asian Vegetable Stir Fry
Heat the canola oil, sesame oil, and crushed red pepper flakes in a large cast iron skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the broccoli, red bell pepper, and shiitake mushrooms; cook, stirring often, for 2-3 minutes.
Add the snow peas and carrot; cook, stirring often, for 1 minute. Add the minced garlic then season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste and cook, stirring constantly, for 30-45 seconds.
Remove from the heat and pour veggies into a serving bowl.

Looks delicious but I truly hope this sentence is a misprint – “My kids loved these veggies with soil sauce drizzled on top.”
