Ingredients

1/4 cup chicken broth (or vegetable broth for vegetarian)
3 Tbsp low-sodium soy sauce (use Tamari for gluten-free), or 2 Tbsp regular soy sauce)
1 tsp corn starch
2 Tbsp honey
¼ tsp hot sauce (optional (Frank's or Sriracha work great)
1 large carrot (sliced)
2 cups medium broccoli florets
8 oz can baby corn spears (drained)
8 oz mushrooms (white or brown) (sliced or quartered)
1 whole pepper (red, yellow, or orange) (seeded and sliced)
2 Tbsp cooking oil (extra light olive oil or canola)
2 Tbsp unsalted butter
3 garlic cloves (peeled and minced)
2 tsp ginger (minced)

Instructions

Make stir fry sauce - In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients for the stir fry sauce and stir to incorporate the corn starch, and set it aside until ready to use.
Saute the veggies - Set a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat then add the oil. Once the oil is hot and shimmering, add the vegetables and stir-fry for about 3 minutes or until the vegetables are just crisp-tender - do not overcook them.
Add Aromatics - reduce the heat to medium and add the butter, garlic, and ginger, and stir constantly for 30-60 seconds or until fragrant.
Add the stir-fry sauce - If the sauce has separated, stir it and stir it into your vegetables. Reduce the heat to medium/low and cook for 3-4 minutes, until the sauce thickens and vegetables reach your desired tenderness.
