Instructions
- Carrot: cut in half lengthwise then diagonally sliced 2mm / 1/10" thick
- Buk Choy (Note 1): Trim base off, then cut leaves off the stem. Cut the stem lengthwise into 1cm / 2/5" wide pieces. Keep leaves separate from stems, they will be cooked at different times.
- Place cornflour and soy sauce in a bowl and mix until cornflour is dissolved, then mix in remaining Sauce ingredients.
- Heat oil in a wok or large heavy based skillet over high heat.
- Add garlic and ginger, stir for 10 seconds. Add onion, stir for 30 seconds.
- Add carrot, capsicum and stems of buk choy - stir for 1 minute.
- Add mushrooms, then stir for 2 to 3 minutes until the vegetables are almost cooked.
- Add Sauce and toss for 1 minute until Sauce thickens and becomes glossy, coating all the vegetables. Don't overcook so they become floppy and limp - they should be just cooked, "crisp tender".
- Remove from stove and serve over rice (low carb option: cauliflower rice). Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds if using. A big dollop of chilli sauce wouldn't go astray either!
