Directions

  1. Combine water, soy sauce, bouillon, cornstarch, sugar, garlic, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, and red pepper flakes in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Whisk until cornstarch is fully dissolved, about 3 minutes. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Boil until thickened and reduced by a third, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat.

  2. Pour peanut oil into a large skillet or wok. Add cabbage, asparagus, carrots, broccoli, snow peas, and celery. Saute over medium-high heat until tender but not mushy, stirring with a spatula, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to low, pour sauce over vegetables and stir until completely coated. Serve over rice.

Recipe Note

This is a Chinese-style stir-fry with a brown sauce. You can use any combination of your favorite vegetables. The sauce can be made ahead of time, so you can easily just stir-fry the veggies and add in the sauce. Add chicken, beef, or (my favorite) fried tofu. This recipe is easily adaptable to use your favorite vegetables - just chop enough to completely fill your large skillet. Garnish with chow mein noodles.
