Description

This is a quick and easy vegan stir-fry with lots of vegetables and the perfect recipe to use up whatever vegetables you have in your fridge.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons canola oil
1 small onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup sliced carrots
1/2 cup purple cauliflower, chopped
1/2 cup chopped fresh broccoli florets
1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
4 tablespoons soy sauce
3/4 cup water
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped, or to taste
2 cups cooked rice
1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds

Directions

1 Heat oil a large skillet over medium heat and cook onion until soft and translucent, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add veggies in the following order with approximately 2 minutes of sauteing between each addition: carrots, cauliflower, broccoli, and mushrooms last. Pour in soy sauce and mix until all vegetables are well coated with sauce. Cook for 2 minutes.
2 Pour in water and add tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and bring to a simmer. Cook until all vegetables are fork-tender, but not too soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Add basil towards the end.
3 Serve warm on a bed of rice sprinkled with sesame seeds.
