Hoisin-Glazed Veggie Delight

1.Prepare all vegetables by washing and cutting them into the desired sizes: broccoli into florets, mushrooms sliced, Napa cabbage shredded, red bell pepper sliced, and carrot julienned.

2.In a small bowl, mix together the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, cornstarch, and water to create a smooth sauce. Set aside.

3.Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add a splash of oil if desired.

4.Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet, stirring quickly for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

5.Add the broccoli florets, sliced mushrooms, shredded Napa cabbage, sliced red bell pepper, and julienned carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp.

6.Pour the prepared hoisin sauce mixture over the stir-fried vegetables, stirring well to coat all the veggies evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and the vegetables are well-glazed.

7.Remove from heat and transfer the stir-fry to a serving dish. Garnish with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds before serving.
