Honey Mustard Stir Fry

There are just some nights when Frog Prince and I crave a plate full of veggies.  Does that ever happen to you?  

Great.  I knew we were strange.  

We wanted a stir fry of sorts, but didn't have anything good to marinade the veggies with as we were out of soy sauce and every non-cream based sauce recipe calls for, you guessed it, soy sauce.  

Urg.  

So, we went with what we had.  

Frog Prince mixed up a spicier version of the sauce -- mustard, honey, water, cornstarch, pepper... lots and lots of pepper.  

I went with a more dainty and less sweat-producing sauce of simple mustard and honey.  

Drizzled over the sauteed veggies and served with brown rice, it was a delicious {and quick} dinner.  

Honey Mustard Stir Fry - Finding Joy in My Kitchen

1 medium bell pepper (we used half yellow, half orange)

1 large handful of sweet pea pods

1 (14oz) bag of frozen veggies (cauli, broccoli and carrots)

1 T olive oil

2 T spicy brown mustard

2 T honey

Begin by chopping the veggies and sauteeing them in olive oil for about 5 minutes.  

While the veggies cook away, combine the mustard and the honey in a small bowl.  

Mix until blended and then set aside.  

When the veggies are crisp-tender, or done to your liking, serve them atop a bed of brown rice.

Drizzle the honey mustard sauce over the top of the veggies.  

Then, enjoy your plate full of veggies.

Mmm.
