Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 large head broccoli, cut into bite size florets, or 1 bag frozen broccoli florets
1 bunch green onions, chopped into 2-inch bits
1 small zucchini, cut in half lengthwise then sliced 1/4 inch thick
3/4 of an 8 oz package of sliced mushrooms
1/2 large bell pepper, julienned
1 large carrot (or 2 medium) sliced thin at an angle
2-3 Tbsp olive oil or peanut oil
SAUCE
3 Tbsp soy sauce
2 tsp corn starch
zest from half lemon
2 Tbsp lemon juice
1/8 c sugar
4 clove minced garlic
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper

Steps:

1. Mix the sauce ingredients together (I did so in a measuring cup for easy pouring). Set aside. Place each veggie in its own bowl for easy access.
2. Heat wok or large skillet, with enough oil to coat bottom, over med-high heat.
3. Throw broccoli and carrots into the skillet (I say this because it will probably spit at you). Cook stirring constantly for about 1 minute.
4. Add the bell pepper and mushrooms. Stir another 1-2 minutes, until just softened.
5. Add the green onion and zucchini. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until mushrooms are just browned around the edges. Turn heat down to medium.
6. Add the sauce and cook, stirring for about 2 minutes, until thickened. Serve immediately.
