A crisp and vibrant vegetable stir-fry featuring tender-crisp broccoli crowns and sweet bell peppers in a savory garlic-ginger sauce.
When you need a quick, nutrient-packed meal, this Broccoli & Bell Pepper Stir-Fry is the ultimate weeknight hero. Combining the robust crunch of fresh broccoli crowns with the natural sweetness of vibrant bell peppers, this recipe transforms simple vegetables into a restaurant-quality dish right in your own kitchen. The magic of a truly great Broccoli & Bell Pepper Stir-Fry lies in achieving that perfect tender-crisp texture. By briefly searing the broccoli and quickly tossing the peppers over high heat, you lock in their bright colors, satisfying crunch, and essential vitamins without letting them get soggy. This stir-fry isn't just about the two star ingredients, though; we bring in earthy red onions and crisp celery to build a complex, aromatic base that makes every bite interesting. Everything is then tossed in a glossy, umami-rich sauce made from everyday pantry staples like soy sauce, minced ginger, and garlic. It is incredibly versatile—serve it over steaming hot jasmine rice, toss it with your favorite noodles, or enjoy it strictly on its own for a fantastic low-carb feast. Finished with a handful of fresh cilantro, every mouthful of this Broccoli & Bell Pepper Stir-Fry pops with fresh, herbaceous flavor. It's naturally vegan, highly adaptable to whatever you have on hand, and comes together in just under 20 minutes, making it the perfect stress-free solution for busy evenings.
Ingredients
- 300 g Broccoli Crowns (about 3 cups florets)
- 1 medium Bell Pepper (about 1½ cups sliced)
- 0.5 medium Red Onion (about ½ cup sliced)
- 2 stalk Celery (about 1 cup sliced)
- 0.25 cup Fresh Cilantro (a small handful roughly chopped)
- 3 clove Garlic
- 1 tbsp Fresh Ginger (minced)
- 3 tbsp Soy Sauce
- 120 ml Vegetable Broth
- 1 tbsp Cornstarch
- 1 tbsp Cooking Oil
- 1 tsp Sesame Oil
Instructions
- 1Whisk together the soy sauce, vegetable broth, sesame oil, and cornstarch in a small bowl to make the stir-fry sauce. Set aside.
- 2Heat the cooking oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced ginger and garlic, stirring continuously for 30 seconds until very fragrant.
- 3Toss in the sliced red onion and celery, stir-frying for 2 minutes until they begin to soften.
- 4Add the broccoli crowns (cut into bite-sized florets) and sliced bell pepper. Stir-fry for 4 to 5 minutes until the vegetables are vibrant and tender-crisp.
- 5Give the sauce mixture a quick stir to recombine the cornstarch, then pour it over the vegetables in the pan. Let it bubble and thicken for 1 to 2 minutes, coating the broccoli and bell pepper evenly.
- 6Remove from the heat and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving immediately.
Chef's Tips
- •Cut all your vegetables into similarly sized pieces before you start cooking; stir-frying goes very quickly!
- •If you prefer a little heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of sriracha into the sauce mixture.
