Four simple ingredients, one great taste. This quick and easy sweet-and-sour sauce brightens up crisp-tender stir-fried vegetables for a fresh, healthful side dish ready in minutes.
Sugar, lime juice, soy sauce, and sesame oil are common ingredients in many Asian-style sauces, particularly for stir-fries. But these four simple ingredients make a great sweet-and-sour combination all their own.
The quantity of each is small because you want the vegetables to be lightly dressed, not "saucy." A few minutes in the wok with a little peanut oil is all the cooking needed. Toss with sauce and serve up one of the easiest, most nutritious and flavorful side dishes you can bring to the table.
Note: Slicing the vegetables very thinly ensures fast, even cooking in very little time. Give the Brussels sprouts a head start, then throw everything else in together.
