  2. If you’re making the sauce yourself using the above recipe, place a medium saucepan/pot over medium-high heat, add all the ingredients and bring to a rolling boil stir until the sugar dissolves, make a slurry by mixing the cornstarch and water together and make sure there’s no lump.

  3. Add the slurry to the sauce and allow it to thicken about 2-3 minutes depending on how thick you want it. Set aside.

  4. Clean the onion and peppers deseed if you desire then slice them and set aside.

    For the vegetables, you can either blanch it or cook with the other vegetables. To blanch: bring water (enough to cover the vegetable you’re using) in this case, broccoli add it to the boiled water and leave for about 2 minutes. Add to a bowl of water and ice cubes (or just cold water) to stop the boiling process remove and set aside.

  5. Place a wok/pot (heavy bottom) over medium heat add a tablespoon of oil, add the minced ginger, garlic, and onion. Sauté for a few seconds don’t let the garlic burn. 

  6. Add the sliced peppers. If you didn’t blanch the vegetable as mentioned above, you’ll add it to the onion mixture to cook together and combine. Season with salt and pepper and cook for about 2 minutes until the vegetables are soft.
