Spring Vegetable Stir Fry

This gorgeous, one-pan meal features tender-crisp spring vegetables in a sublime sweet/savory glaze! Made with whatever vegetables you want and served over rice (or not), it's the ultimate main dish, side dish, or colorful addition to a party spread! Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrots and bell pepper cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until soft. Add the asparagus, zucchini, ginger, and garlic and cook for 2 to 3 more minutes, until the vegetables are fork-tender.  Whisk the sauce again to make sure the corn starch is blended and add the sauce to the pan. Bring to a simmer. Cook for 1 minute, until the sauce thickens and glazes the vegetables. Season to taste with salt and black pepper and serve.
