Ingredients
  

  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil or sesame oil
  • 1 large onion sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger grated
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 bell peppers sliced (any colors)
  • 2 carrots thinly sliced
  • 2 zucchini sliced
  • 1 cup snap peas
  • 1 cup mushrooms sliced
  • 1 small cabbage shredded
  • 1 can baby corn drained (optional)
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 6 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon chili flakes optional
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch mixed with 3 tablespoons water
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds for garnish
  • 3 green onions sliced for garnish

Method
 

  1. Prepare the sauce: In a bowl, whisk together hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, chili flakes, and cornstarch slurry. Set aside.
  2. Heat the pan: Place a large wok or skillet over high heat. Add the oil and allow it to get hot before adding vegetables.
  3. Cook aromatics: Add sliced onion, garlic, and ginger. Stir fry for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add hard vegetables: Add broccoli, carrots, and bell peppers. Stir fry for 4 minutes while tossing constantly.
  5. Add softer vegetables: Add zucchini, mushrooms, cabbage, snap peas, and baby corn. Cook for another 4 to 5 minutes until tender-crisp.
  6. Add the sauce: Pour the hoisin mixture into the pan. Toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated.
  7. Simmer briefly: Let the sauce bubble for 2 minutes until it thickens and becomes glossy.
  8. Taste and adjust: Add salt or pepper if needed. If you like extra sweetness, stir in a little more hoisin sauce.
  9. Serve: Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions. Serve hot over rice or noodles.
