Ingredients for Victory Veggie Stir-Fry

Olive oil serves as a heart-healthy base for sautéing our veggies, giving them a delightful richness without overpowering flavors. The broccoli florets bring a wonderful crunch and soak up the sauce beautifully. Bell peppers add a pop of color and a sweet, crisp texture. Snow peas are perfect for a tender crunch and a hint of sweetness. Carrots balance everything with their earthy sweetness and vibrant color. Onions, sliced thin, provide a mellow, savory depth. Garlic and fresh ginger add a fragrant, spicy kick that's essential to any great stir-fry. The soy sauce is the salty, umami-rich component that ties it all together, while sesame oil gives a nutty, aromatic finish. Sesame seeds add a final crunch and a touch of nuttiness. Don't forget to season with salt and pepper to taste!

Tips & Tricks

  • Prep all your ingredients before you start cooking. Stir-fry is fast-paced, and having everything ready will keep you from scrambling.
  • If you prefer your vegetables softer, you can add a splash of water to the pan and cover it for a minute to steam them.
  • Adjust the soy sauce according to your taste preference and dietary needs — low-sodium soy sauce works just as well.

Serving Suggestions

This stir-fry is fantastic over a bed of steamed jasmine rice or fluffy quinoa for a complete meal. You can also serve it alongside grilled chicken or tofu for added protein. For a little extra heat, sprinkle some chili flakes or drizzle with sriracha.

Victory Veggie Stir-Fry Recipe Walkthrough

Start by heating up your olive oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. You want it hot enough to sizzle but not so hot that it smokes. Once that's ready, toss in your minced garlic and grated ginger. Give them about a minute to work their magic—just until they're fragrant and begin coloring the oil.

Next, add your sliced onions to the pan. Stir them around for about two minutes until they start to soften up. They should become slightly translucent but still have some bite to them.

Now it’s time to bring on the veggies. Throw in the broccoli, bell peppers, snow peas, and carrots. Keep everything moving with your spatula or spoon. You’re aiming for tender-crisp veggies, which should take about 5 to 7 minutes of stir-frying.

Pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil now, making sure to toss everything so that the vegetables are nicely coated. This step is where the magic happens, as the sauce seeps into the veggies, enhancing their flavors.

Finally, season your stir-fry with salt and pepper to taste. Just before serving, sprinkle with sesame seeds for a bit of extra texture and flavor. Serve it up hot and enjoy!
