- For the noodles: Bring a pot of water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti in the boiling water according to the package instructions. Drain, then drizzle with some sesame oil and a little soy sauce in a large bowl and toss.

- Heat the peanut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and bell peppers and cook, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute more, stirring continuously. Add the zucchini and stir it around, cooking it for 2 minutes more. Add the baby corn and broccoli and cook for a couple of minutes.

QUICK & TASTY VEGGIE STIR FRY SAUCE (USES BRAGGS)
This is just a little recipe off the side of a box of silken tofu (Mori-Nu). I didn't care for the entire recipe, which involved broiling the tofu...far too much effort to put the oven on when you're planning to stir fry. What I did like about the recipe was the sauce - quick and simple for those days when you don't have time to mess around with too many ingredients, but still don't want to open up a packaged sauce. You can thicken up the sauce if you choose, or add some heat if that's what you're going for. As this has honey I can't say it's vegan, however I think you could sub agave or some other sweetener quite nicely (brown rice syrup??). Let me know if you try that. The original recipe said it was enough for 4, but if I was making it for 4 adults I would probably double it which is why I said it serves 3. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Blend the ingredients together, and presto, you have sauce!
- Stir fry as you normally would -- if the sauce is too runny for you, likely depending on the veg you put in or if you used some frozen veg -- stir together about 1 tbsp of arrowroot powder (or cornstarch etc) with a few tbsp of water in a little dish, then mix that into the pan. Sort of push your veg/tofu to one side of the pan and try to mix it in well with just the sauce so you don't disturb your veg too much. Once it has thickened a bit then coat all the veggies in it.

Tips for a Perfect Veggie Stir-Fry Sauce:
- Use fresh vegetables: Fresh vegetables will give your stir-fry sauce the best flavor and texture. If you can, buy organic vegetables to avoid pesticides and herbicides.
- Choose a variety of vegetables: The more variety of vegetables you use, the more flavorful your sauce will be. Some good options include broccoli, carrots, bell peppers, snap peas, and mushrooms.
- Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly. If the vegetables are too big, they will take longer to cook and may not cook through evenly.
- Use a high-quality oil: A good stir-fry sauce starts with a good oil. Choose an oil that has a high smoke point, such as grapeseed oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil.
- Add some aromatics: Aromatics, such as garlic, ginger, and onion, can add a lot of flavor to your stir-fry sauce. Add them to the pan before the vegetables and cook until they are fragrant.
- Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what really makes a stir-fry special. There are many different types of stir-fry sauces available, so choose one that you like. You can also make your own sauce using a combination of soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and other ingredients.
- Cook the sauce until it is thickened: The sauce should be thick enough to coat the vegetables. If it is too thin, it will not adhere to the vegetables and will not taste as good.
- Serve the stir-fry immediately: Stir-fry is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will ensure that the vegetables are still crisp and the sauce is still hot.
Conclusion:
Veggie stir-fry is a healthy and delicious meal that can be made in just minutes. With a flavorful sauce and a variety of fresh vegetables, stir-fry is a great way to get your daily dose of fruits and vegetables. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give veggie stir-fry a try!
