Ingredients

  • 7 mL (½ tbsp) vegetable oil
  • ½ head of broccoli, chopped
  • 500 mL (2 cups) green beans, trimmed
  • 5 mL (1 tsp) garlic powder
  • 250 mL (1 cup) frozen green peas
  • 30 mL (2 tbsp) sesame oil
  • 15 mL (1 tbsp) sesame seeds
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1

In a frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat.

2

Add broccoli, green beans and garlic powder and sauté for 1 minute. Add water to cover about ¼ of the vegetables.

3

Reduce heat to a gentle simmer, cover and cook for about 8 to 10 minutes or until vegetables are tender-crisp and bright in colour.

4

Add the frozen peas and sesame oil and cook for another minute. Check the broccoli and beans to see if they are cooked, but still firm. Once they are ready, sprinkle sesame seeds on top and season with salt and pepper.
