Today we are making stir fry mixed vegetables. It is an easy recipe but i will show you a small trick to make your vegetable taste 10 times better.

INGREDIENTS
2 lb of the vegetable mix (broccoli, snow peas, carrot, cauliflower, green beans, red bell pepper, cabbage, bok choy)
2 liters of water to blanch the vegetables
1.5 tbsp of salt for blanching the vegetables
1.5 tbsp of oil for blanching
10 cloves of garlic, finely minced
1 tbsp of minced ginger
Black pepper to taste
Salt to adjust the flavor at the end
1/3 cup of water
1 tbsp of cornstarch

INSTRUCTIONS

Bring 2 liters of water to a boil. Add in 1.5 tbsp of salt and a big drizzle of olive oil. Then blanch the vegetables that take a longer time to cook first, such as broccoli, cauliflower, carrots. Let them cook for a minute. Then add the snow peas and the Bok Choy stems. Continue cooking them for 20 seconds. Take all the vegetables out. Set it aside.

Get your wok ready. Add 2-3 tbsp of cooking oil. Toss in the minced ginger, minced garlic, and red bell pepper, and the cabbage. The reason I didn’t blanch the bell pepper is that I like to keep it fresh and crunchy. Keep stirring them over medium heat for another 20 seconds.

Introduce the blanched veggies back to the wok along with the leafy part of the baby Bok Choy. Keep mixing. Although we used some salt while blanching, we don’t how much sodium that the vegetables actually get so you want to give it a taste and add salt to adjust the flavor. Stir to mix.

Turn off the heat. Toss in some black pepper to taste and pour in some cornstarch water. You have to add the cornstarch water after the heat is off or else it will clump up quickly. Cornstarch water is my little secret. It helps the vegetables to catch those little garlic bits. So your veggies don’t come out bland.

In the video, I serve it with egg fried rice and Mongolian beef - delicious!.

I just made this and it turned out awesome. I made a few minor changes like adding shrimp and using a corn starch mixture with oyster sauce, white pepper and light soy sauce.
Thanks for your video, it inspired me!

Best demo I've seen on how to properly stir fry vegetables. It's simple but the order of cooking is important! Love your videos!

This is awesome. Wife literally thought I snuck out and bought take out!

I had tons of brocolli around so I ONLY used broccoli and it worked well....though I only needed 1lb of vegetable when it's all broccoli, versus the two pounds recommended when it is mixed vegetables. I kept all the other ingredients at the recipe's recommendations.

Simple and amazing. (And I had never blanched anything before trying this recipe. Thanks for teaching me a new skill.)

Thank you for the tip to add cornstarch water after the heat is off. I’ve made veggie stir fry but the garlic stayed in the bottom of the wok instead of sticking to the veggies. Now i know how to get them to stick so I can enjoy the flavor throughout!

I have a feeling I will be making this again and again! My husband and I loved it! I added some oyster sauce and soy sauce at the end:) The veggies were crunchy but next time I want to parboil them a little longer. I'm cooking with your wok, it is a lot of fun as I'm just learning Chinese cooking.

Good to see you using already prepped veg from the supermarket. That is the reality of dinnertime for many families. I have given up ordering take out since I have discovered your recipes and methods! I keep a jar of stir-fry sauce in the fridge for quick meals. Blessings on your head! 🙏

Your the best, because of you I cook stir fry at home all the time...🥰

This recipe is fantastic! Me and my daughter made it together and we went wild over it. I took a bowl full of the vegetables and added some canned chicken breast meat and a slice of garlic bread, it made a great meal and a very healthy meal. 5 star recipe. Alan Merrill

I used the “velvating” method for chicken. I always wondered how the chicken remained soft and juicy. I was never able to do this until now. Thank you for making the video. I wish I knew this 50 years ago (I am 72) because this would have given me many many great chicken meals. :)
