🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- First things first, prep your veggies! Wash everything thoroughly. Chop the broccoli into bite-sized florets. Thinly slice the carrots and the scallions. Mince the garlic – don't be shy with it, the more the merrier. Remember to adjust the ingredient quantities if you're cooking for more or fewer people.
- Next, get your wok or large skillet nice and hot. Add a tablespoon of oil. Don’t be afraid to use high heat; a good stir-fry relies on that searing action!
- Toss in the broccoli and carrots, and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until they start to soften just a tad. You want a bit of crunch left!
- Add the garlic and ginger. Stir for 15-20 seconds, until fragrant. If you burn the garlic, I will not be held responsible ;) just kidding (maybe...).
- Now comes the fun part: add your sauce! Stir-fry gently for about 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. It's all about that perfect glossy finish. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed; a dash of soy sauce or rice vinegar might add depth.
- Lastly, bring in the scallions. Toss them into the wok and give everything another 30 seconds or so of stir-frying. You're aiming for that wonderfully balanced dish that showcases both vibrant colors and flavors. Don't overcook—that's the key!
- Serve immediately! Enjoy your delicious China Vegetable Stir-Fry with Hoisin Sauce. It pairs great with fluffy rice or even some noodles! Mmm, tasty!
