Ingredients

  • 2 tsp peanut oil
  • 2 cup onion(s), chopped (about 1 large onion)
  • 2 cup bok choy, chopped
  • 2 cup carrot(s), chopped (about 2 medium carrots)
  • 1 medium green pepper(s), chopped
  • 1 medium sweet red pepper(s), chopped
  • 8 oz mushroom(s), thinly sliced
  • 2 cup broccoli, florets
  • 2 cup asparagus, cut into 2-inch peices (about 1/2 pound asparagus)
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup canned chicken broth, reduced-sodium
  • 8 Tbsp peanuts, dry roasted
  • 4 cup cooked brown rice, kept hot

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add onion, bok choy, carrots, peppers, mushrooms, broccoli and asparagus; cook 5 minutes, stirring frequently.

  2. Add soy sauce and cook until vegetables are crisp-tender, about 2 minutes more.

  3. Whisk cornstarch into broth in a small cup and add to pan; simmer until sauce thickens, about 1 minute.

  4. Spoon stir-fry onto rice on individual plates and top each serving with peanuts. Yields about 1 1/2 cups of vegetables, 1 tablespoon of peanuts and 1/2 cup of rice per serving.

  5. This dish will last in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You may add additional protein by stir-frying skinless, boneless chicken, peeled shrimp and/or firm, cubed tofu with the vegetables.
