Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 teaspoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons cooking oil
3 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks or thinner
4 medium zucchini, cut into 1-inch chunks or sliced thinner, if preferred
4 tablespoons stir-fry sauce

Steps:

  • Zucchini: Slim, small zucchini will taste best. larger and usually older zucchini tend to have a bitter after-taste.
  • Carrots: Skinny carrots are the younger roots and usually taste sweeter.
  • Mix cornstarch with water and set aside. Heat oil in stir fry pan, wok or heavier skillet over medium high heat. Stir fry carrots for 1 minute and then add zucchini. Continue stirring for about 2 minutes. (Adjust cooking times according to the temperature you feel comfortable cooking with.).
  • Add stir fry sauce and stir well. Stir cornstarch mixture well before adding to vegetables. Stir until sauce is thickened and serve immediately.
  • Sauces with lemon or orange flavors, if available, may be alternate stir fry sauces to try. A side dish for Western foods too.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, crisp vegetables: This will ensure that your stir-fry is packed with flavor and nutrients.
  • Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you add too many vegetables at once, they will steam instead of stir-frying.
  • Stir-fry over high heat: This will help to create a flavorful sear on the vegetables.
  • Add a little bit of oil: This will help to prevent the vegetables from sticking to the pan.
  • Use a well-seasoned wok or skillet: This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the vegetables from sticking.
  • Stir the vegetables constantly: This will help to ensure that they cook evenly and don't burn.
  • Add the sauce towards the end of cooking: This will help to prevent the sauce from burning.
  • Serve immediately: Stir-fries are best enjoyed fresh out of the pan.
