This recipe is a general cooking guide. Ingredient brands, appliances and food-safety requirements vary by country; follow local guidance and ensure food is cooked safely.

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp honey or sugar
  • 1 tbsp neutral oil
  • 1 red pepper, sliced
  • 1 carrot, thinly sliced
  • 200 g broccoli florets
  • 150 g mushrooms
  • 2 spring onions
  • Cooked rice or noodles

Method

  1. Mix soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil and honey.
  2. Heat a wok or wide pan until very hot. Add neutral oil.
  3. Cook the firm vegetables first, then add mushrooms and spring onions.
  4. Pour in the sauce and toss for 1 to 2 minutes until glossy.
  5. Serve immediately with rice or noodles.
Useful tip: Keep the pan hot and avoid overcrowding so the vegetables fry rather than steam.
