WEIGHT WATCHERS STIR FRIED CHINESE VEGETABLES

Weight Watchers Stir Fried Chinese Vegetables image

This homemade version of the Chinese restaurant classic, Buddha's Delight, is a nutrient powerhouse. Serve it over brown rice (3/4 cup cooked brown rice = 3 points) and you'll boost the fiber content. If you're really hungry, have 2 servings (only 1 point per serving) over brown rice = 5 total points and soooooo good! I've had this 3 times this week! Mix things up, if you like a little heat, sprinkle some red pepper flakes in the sauce before cooking; add chopped onion if you like, etc. I omitted the ginger, only because of personal preference.

Ingredients

1/4 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon reduced sodium soy sauce
2 garlic cloves (minced, I use 3-4, but I LOVE garlic!!)
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh ginger (peeled and minced)
2 cups bok choy (chopped)
1 red bell pepper (seeded and cut into 1-inch squares)
1 cup snow peas
1/2 carrot (thinly sliced)

1/4 cup sliced water chestnuts (canned, drained)

Steps:

In a small bowl, combine the broth, soy sauce, garlic and ginger.

Tips:

Prep your vegetables in advance: This will save you time when you're ready to cook. You can chop them up and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a few days.
Use a large skillet or wok: This will give you plenty of room to stir-fry the vegetables and sauce.
Heat the oil over high heat: This will help the vegetables to cook quickly and evenly.
Stir the vegetables constantly: This will prevent them from burning.
Add the sauce and peanuts towards the end of cooking: This will help to prevent the sauce from thickening too much.
Serve the stir-fry over rice or noodles: This will make a complete and satisfying meal.
