Healthy Recipe of the Week

Continuing with our Summer Salad Series, but with a twist!

Salad Bar Stir-Fry

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon Oyster Sauce (*may substitute for Reduced-Sodium Soy Sauce)
• 1 tablespoon Sherry (wine)
• 1 1/2 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon Neutral Oil such as, Peanut, Sunflower, or Safflower
• 3 slices Ginger and/or Garlic
• 4 cups Vegetables of choice (chopped)
• 1/4 teaspoon Toasted Sesame Oil

Directions

To prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the oyster sauce (or soy sauce), sherry, and cornstarch with 1/3 cup water.

In a large pan over medium heat, heat the neutral-tasting oil and ginger and/or garlic until the oil is hot and the ginger and/or garlic is lightly browned (about 2 – 3 minutes).

Increase the heat to high. Add the vegetables and stir-fry until charred in spots (about 2 – 3 minutes).

Push the vegetables to one side of the pan, add the sauce, and cook until the sauce thickens (about 30 seconds). Whisk the sesame oil into the sauce. Toss the vegetables in the sauce to coat evenly.

Preparation Time: 15 minutes

Yields: 2 servings
