Ingredients

What you need

  • 5 cups mixed vegetables cut into bite-size pieces
  • 2 cups snow peas, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1 cup rice or salad
  • 2 tablespoons neutral oil, divided
  • 3 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar or lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, finely grated
  • 2 tablespoons chopped scallions
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds or crushed peanuts, optional

Directions

How to make it

  1. Minute 0-6, cutting board and skewers: cut vegetables into similar-size pieces so they cook evenly. Thread the protein and snow peas onto skewers.
  2. Minute 6-9, small bowl: whisk soy, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and a little sweet chili sauce. Reserve 2 tablespoons for serving.
  3. Minute 9-12, grill or grill pan: preheat to medium-high heat and oil the grates lightly.
  4. Minute 12-20, grill: cook the skewers, turning every 2 minutes, until browned on all sides.
  5. Minute 20-24, grill: brush with sauce and cook until sticky and cooked through. Cook vegetables until crisp-tender, not mushy.
  6. Minute 24-30, platter: rest for 3 minutes, add scallions, and serve with rice or salad.

Tips

Make it yours

  • Keep the pan at medium-high heat; lower the heat if the sauce darkens too fast.
  • Cut snow peas evenly so the pieces cook at the same speed.
  • Make the sauce before cooking so the final toss takes less than 2 minutes.
  • For meal prep, store the sauce separately and reheat gently.
