Tips:

  • Choose fresh, crisp vegetables: Look for broccoli and carrots that are brightly colored and free of blemishes.
  • Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Use a large skillet or wok: This will give the vegetables plenty of room to stir-fry.
  • Heat the oil over high heat: This will help the vegetables sear and retain their crunch.
  • Add the vegetables to the skillet in batches: This will prevent them from steaming instead of stir-frying.
  • Stir-fry the vegetables for 2-3 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp: Overcooking will make them mushy.
  • Season the vegetables with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste: You can also add a splash of soy sauce or rice vinegar.
  • Serve the stir-fried vegetables immediately: They are best enjoyed hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Stir-fried broccoli and carrots is a quick, easy, and healthy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with nutrients and can be customized to your liking. With these tips, you can make the perfect stir-fried broccoli and carrots every time.
