For the stir fry sauce

  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 2 teaspoons ginger, grated (2-inch nub)
  • 2 tablespoons mirin
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil (regular, not toasted)

Instructions:

  1. Start the rice and decide which protein you’ll be adding.

  5. In a large skillet or wok over high heat, and heat the oil. Add the broccoli, red onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms and cook for 6 to 7 minutes until just starting to brown on edges, stirring occasionally.
  6. Add the garlic and ginger, then cook for 1 minute, until broccoli is crisp tender but still bright green. Turn off the heat and add the sauce, stirring until combined. Salt to taste. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onion (optional). Serve with rice and desired protein (see above).
