Chinese Mixed Vegetables Recipe

Chinese Mixed Vegetables Recipe
serves 2

Ingredients:
    -2 tablespoons arrowroot or cornstarch
    -1 1/4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth (preferably) or water
    -2 teaspoons dark sesame oil, optional
    -2 tablespoons reduced-sodium natural soy sauce or tamari
    -2 tablespoons dry wine, optional
    -2 teaspoons grated fresh or jarred ginger, more or less to taste
    -1 1/2 tablespoons safflower or other high-heat oil
    -2 cloves garlic, minced
    -2 large broccoli crowns, cut into bite-sized florets,
    -1 carrot, peeled and sliced diagonally
    -1 cup small brown mushrooms, stemmed and cut in half
    -Several nappa cabbage or regular green cabbage leaves
    -1 cup snow peas, trimmed
    -1 to 2 celery stalks, thinly sliced on the diagonal
    -2 scallions, cut into 1-inch pieces
    -15-ounce can baby corn, drained, optional
    -Toasted cashews or peanuts for topping, optional

Directions:
1. Dissolve the arrowroot or cornstarch with about 1/4 cup of the broth or water to make it smooth and pourable.Combine the dissolved cornstarch with the remaining broth and the rest of the ingredients in a mixing bowl and whisk together. Set aside.

2. Prepare all the veggies as directed in the ingredient list, as the stir-fry goes very quickly from there. Heat the oil in a stir-fry pan. Add the garlic and sauté over low heat for a minute or so.

3. Add all the vegetables, and turn up the heat. Stir-fry until everything is bright and tender-crisp, not more than 5 minutes, adding very small amounts of additional broth or water, just enough to keep the pan moist.

4. Whisk the sauce together and pour it in. When the liquid thickens and everything is nicely heated through, season to taste with additional soy sauce and serve at once as suggested in the headnote.
