How to make Butter Garlic Stir Fried Veggies?

1) Gather all the ingredients and wash them properly. Cut the vegetables in the desired but even shape and boil all except bell peppers (which will be directly stir fried later). The cooking of the vegetables should be such that they still have bite to them and are not fully cooked.

2) Once boiled, directly transfer the vegetables into an ice bath to avoid over-cooking; this will ensure that the vegetables don’t turn mushy. Don’t discard the remaining water that has most of the nutrients in and save it to use later.

3) Heat a Meyer Stir Fry Pan and melt butter in it. When the butter is melted, add garlic to it. Once the garlic is lightly sautéed and fragrant, add in the raw bell peppers and cook for a few minutes.


4) Next, add in all the boiled vegetables and shake the pan back and forth to enable each veggie to soak in the flavour without getting mushy or breaking.

5) Add in the stock saved from earlier along with a few drops of sesame oil to add a nutty, toasty flavour, and basil leaves. The basil will give a fragrant touch to the whole recipe and it also has myriad health benefits.


6) While the sauce is getting cooked, dissolve a spoon of corn flour in water and use it to bind the food items. Once the sauce comes to a boil, add in the corn flour paste.


7) When the sauce thickens up lightly, take it out and serve it hot. The recipe can be enjoyed on its own or also paired up with rice and noodles
