- 1 cup Vegetable Broth
- 2 tbsp Soy Sauce or Tamari
- Fresh Herbs (Basil or Cilantro)
- Juice of 1 Lime or Lemon
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
Instructions
- Prep your ingredients: Wash and slice your bell peppers and mushrooms into bite-sized pieces. Chop the garlic and scallions finely, keeping them separate.
- Heat the pan: In a large skillet or wok, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Make sure it’s hot before adding veggies.

- Finish with freshness: Squeeze lemon or lime juice over the top, and fold in chopped herbs just before serving.
- Serve and enjoy: This dish is delightful on its own or served over rice, quinoa, or zucchini noodles.
Notes
For lower sodium, consider using coconut aminos instead of soy sauce. This dish retains best texture when not overcrowded in the pan while cooking.
