Mediterranean Diet Friendly Vegetable Stir Fry

A colorful mix of crisp-tender carrots, red bell pepper, zucchini, and baby bok choy comes together fast in a hot wok, each vegetable added in just the right order to keep its own texture and snap. The glossy sauce, brightened with fresh ginger and a touch of maple syrup, clings to every piece and gets a final lift from sliced scallion greens and a scatter of sesame seeds. It's a vegetable-forward, plant-heavy dish built around good olive-adjacent cooking fat and fresh produce, which makes it a natural fit for a Mediterranean way of eating. Ready in minutes and endlessly adaptable to whatever vegetables you have on hand, this is the kind of weeknight stir fry you'll want in regular rotation.

1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp maple syrup
Chef's tip
Use the same amount; honey is a little thicker and slightly sweeter.
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp cornstarch
Chef's tip
For thickening, use about 1 1/3 times as much tapioca flour, stirred into a spoonful of cold water first; take the pan off the heat soon after it thickens.
1 tsp fresh ginger, finely grated

For the stir fry

2 tbsp garlic-infused oil
2 medium carrots, peeled and cut into thin matchsticks
1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise and sliced into half-moons
2 heads baby bok choy, trimmed and leaves separated
4 scallions, green tops only, sliced

For serving

1 tsp sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

1
In a small bowl, whisk together the tamari, rice vinegar, maple syrup, sesame oil, cornstarch, and grated ginger until the cornstarch is fully dissolved. Set aside.
2
Heat the garlic-infused oil in a large wok or 12-inch skillet over high heat until shimmering and just beginning to smoke.
