Broccoli and Baby Corn Stir-Fry

Here's an easy and colorful side dish to accompany Asian noodle or tofu main dishes. This broccoli and baby corn stir-fry especially good with really fresh broccoli from the garden or farm stand.

Serves: 4 to 6

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
¼ cup dry white wine, water, or vegetable broth
4 to 5 cups bite-sized broccoli florets
1 large carrot, peeled and sliced diagonally or into thick matchsticks,
or ½ cup baby carrots, halved lengthwise if thick
1 cup snow peas or snap peas, ends trimmed
15-ounce can baby corn, drained
2 teaspoons grated fresh or jarred ginger
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Sesame seeds for garnish, optional

Heat the oils and wine together in a stir-fry pan, then add the broccoli and carrot. Stir fry until the broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp.
