Ingredients

Oil-Free Veggie Sautée

  • 1 cup button mushrooms sliced (70 g)
  • 1 cup broccoli florets 90 g
  • ½ red bell pepper sliced
  • 2 green onions sliced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Stir-fry sauce

Instructions

  • Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add 3 tablespoons of water, mushrooms and broccoli.
  • Sautée for 3 more minutes while stirring frequently, then add stir-fry sauce.
  • Cook until bubbly, then add bell peppers and stir-fry for 5 more minutes. If needed, add more water to keep the veggies from sticking!
  • Just before everything is softened and still crunchy, add the green onions. Mix with a spatula to combine, then serve warm over rice or noodles!

Notes

  • Instead of the pre-made stir-fry sauce, you can add soy sauce, lemon juice and red chili flakes to the skillet while sautéeing.
  • You can use any veggies of your choice and add tofu, tempeh or chickpeas for some protein.
