Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 cup carrots, thinly sliced
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
• 1 cup snow peas
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup mandarin oranges, drained (if canned) or peeled and segmented
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, for garnish

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Add the broccoli florets, carrots, and red bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables begin to soften.

Step 3

Add the snow peas and minced garlic to the skillet. Continue to cook for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp and the garlic is fragrant.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, cornstarch, and water until smooth.

Step 5

Pour the soy sauce mixture into the skillet with the vegetables. Stir well to coat the vegetables evenly. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

Step 6

Gently stir in the mandarin orange segments, being careful not to crush them. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to warm the oranges.

Step 7

Transfer the Mandarin Vegetable Medley to a serving dish and garnish with sesame seeds.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy!
