Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Ensure you have all of your ingredients measured out and ready to go. This will make your cooking process smoother and more efficient.
- Place a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Allow it to heat up for about 1-2 minutes.
- Add 1 tablespoon of coconut oil into the hot pan. Let it melt completely, swirling the pan to ensure it coats the entire bottom surface evenly.
- Once the oil is hot and shimmering, add the entire package of mixed frozen vegetables to the pan. Stir well to coat all the veggies with the coconut oil.
- Continue stirring the vegetables frequently to prevent them from sticking to the pan or burning. Cook for about 7-8 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and heated through. You can adjust the cooking time based on your preference for the texture of the veggies—for a crisper result, cook for a shorter time.
- Pour 1 tablespoon of soy sauce over the vegetables. Stir well to ensure all the veggies are evenly coated with the soy sauce. Allow the mixture to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, so the flavors meld together nicely.
- Taste a piece of vegetable to check for seasoning and doneness. If needed, you can add a little more soy sauce or cook the vegetables for an extra minute or two.
- Once the vegetables are cooked to your liking and evenly coated with the soy sauce, remove the pan from the heat. Serve the stir-fried mixed veggies hot, either as a side dish or a main course over rice or noodles.
- You can garnish your stir-fried mixed vegetables with some sesame seeds, chopped green onions, or a squeeze of fresh lime juice for added flavor and presentation.
Tips:
- Make sure to heat the coconut oil well before adding the vegetables to ensure they cook evenly.
- Use a high-quality soy sauce for the best flavor. You can also opt for low-sodium soy sauce if you're watching your salt intake.
- If you prefer fresh vegetables, feel free to substitute them for the frozen mix. Just make sure to chop them into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
- Add a pinch of pepper or a splash of lemon juice at the end for an extra layer of flavor.
- For added protein, consider tossing in some tofu, tempeh, or shrimp.
