  1. Prepare the Vegetables: Slice the bell peppers, julienne the carrots, and separate the broccoli into florets. Mince the garlic.

  1. Heat the Sesame Oil: Heat the sesame oil over medium heat in a large pan or wok.

TIPS FOR LENTIL AND VEGETABLE STIR-FRY

  • Pre-cook the lentils ahead of time and store them in the fridge to save time.
  • If you prefer your vegetables softer, add a splash of water or vegetable broth during stir-frying to help steam them.
  • Use a high-quality soy sauce or tamari for the best flavour, and adjust the amount to taste.

VARIATIONS

  • Substitute lentils with chickpeas or tofu for added protein.
  • Add mushrooms, zucchini, or spinach for more variety.
  • For a spicy kick, sprinkle some red pepper flakes or add a dash of sriracha.
  • Swap sesame oil with olive oil if you want a lighter flavour.

PREPPING AND STORAGE GUIDE FOR LENTIL AND VEGETABLE STIR-FRY

  • Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a pan before serving.
  • Freezer: The stir-fry is best eaten fresh, but you can freeze cooked lentils for up to 3 months. Reheat them for future quick meals.
