Weight Watchers Stir Fried Chinese Vegetables

Submitted by xpnsve

"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."

 

• Ready In: 12mins
• Ingredients: 10
• Serves: 4

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 bamboo shoot (canned, drained)
• 1⁄4 cup sliced water chestnuts (canned, drained)

directions

1. In a small bowl, combine the broth, soy sauce, garlic and ginger.
2. In a large nonstick skillet (wok works well too), heat the oil. Stir fry the bok choy and bell pepper for 3 minutes; add the broth mixture, snow peas and carrot. Reduce heat and cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender-crisp and sauce thickens, about 3 minutes.
3. Stir in the bamboo shoots and water chestnuts, cook, stirring frequently until heated through, about 1 minute.

I loved the vegetables but it did taste bland.

This was really easy, especially since I found a stir fry veggie mix in the produce aisle of the store! All I had to slice up was the pepper. I made some brown rice and served the veggies over the rice. I also cooked up some chicken (I cubed it first) in the sauce - I mixed extra. Tasty and filling. Thank you for posting!

Wonderful stir fry veggies. I added a touch of sesame seed oil, onion, mushrooms and celery and a dash of teriyaki sauce along with rest of these ingredients. Had with recipe#162396 and some brown rice. Made for a nice dinner. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
