Stir-fries are the ultimate quick, healthy dinner — endlessly flexible and ready before delivery would even arrive. This one keeps the vegetables crisp and the sauce light but full of flavour.

Ingredients

Stir-fry

  • 1 tbsp sesame or olive oil
  • 1 red pepper, sliced
  • 1 carrot, julienned
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup sugar snap peas
  • 2 spring onions, sliced

3-ingredient sauce

  • 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tsp grated ginger (+ splash of water)

Method

  1. Heat oil in a wok over high heat. Add the firmer veg (carrot, broccoli) first and stir-fry 3 minutes.
  2. Add pepper and sugar snaps; stir-fry 3 more minutes until crisp-tender.
  3. Pour in the sauce, toss for 1 minute to coat, then scatter with spring onions.

Add tofu, edamame or leftover chicken for extra protein, and serve over noodles or rice.
