Recipe video above. Any vegetables are totally scoffable when they're smothered in a tasty Chinese gravy! Use any veg you want - just add them according to the cook time (hard veg in first, leafy veg in last). For a quick hit of protein, toss in some cubes of firm tofu. For a chicken version, use this Chicken Stir Fry. Recipe works with Charlie - see Note 4.
View original recipe on recipetineats.comCarrot: cut in half lengthwise then diagonally sliced 2mm / 1/10" thick
Buk Choy (Note 1): Trim base off, then cut leaves off the stem. Cut the stem lengthwise into 1cm / 2/5" wide pieces. Keep leaves separate from stems, they will be cooked at different times.
Place cornflour and soy sauce in a bowl and mix until cornflour is dissolved, then mix in remaining Sauce ingredients.
Heat oil in a wok or large heavy based skillet over high heat.
Add garlic and ginger, stir for 10 seconds. Add onion, stir for 30 seconds.
Add carrot, capsicum and stems of buk choy - stir for 1 minute.
Add mushrooms, then stir for 2 to 3 minutes until the vegetables are almost cooked.
Add Sauce and toss for 1 minute until Sauce thickens and becomes glossy, coating all the vegetables. Don't overcook so they become floppy and limp - they should be just cooked, "crisp tender".
Remove from stove and serve over rice (low carb option: cauliflower rice). Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds if using. A big dollop of chilli sauce wouldn't go astray either!
