Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce and cornstarch until the cornstarch is fully dissolved, creating a smooth slurry. Set aside. (2 minutes)

02

Step

Lightly coat a skillet or wok with cooking spray and place over medium heat. Drizzle in the sesame oil, allowing it to shimmer and infuse the pan with its nutty aroma. (1 minute)

03

Step

Add the snow peas and carrots to the skillet. Stir-fry for 2 minutes, ensuring the vegetables are evenly coated with the oil and begin to brighten in color. (2 minutes)

04

Step

Pour the chicken broth over the vegetables, bringing the mixture to a lively boil. (1 minute)

05

Step

Cover the skillet, reduce the heat to low, and simmer gently until the vegetables are slightly softened yet still retain a delightful crispness, about 5 minutes. (5 minutes)

06

Step

Stir in the soy sauce mixture, coating the vegetables evenly. Continue to stir-fry until the sauce thickens to a glossy glaze, clinging beautifully to the snow peas and carrots. Serve immediately. (3 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or a clove of minced garlic to the stir-fry.
To maintain the vibrant color and crisp texture of the vegetables, avoid overcooking.
Serve this dish as a flavorful side, or elevate it to a main course by adding grilled chicken, shrimp, or tofu.
