Start by steaming the carrots, because they take the longest time to cook. Once they begin to soften a bit, add in your other veggies. I used broccoli and swiss chard, although you can really add anything you want. Bok choy, mushrooms, water chestnuts, there are tons of options!
Once the veggies are steaming, you can go ahead and mix up the sauce! It’s made of orange juice (I recommend juicing your own oranges fresh), coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, ginger and garlic. Simply mix them all together, and when your veggies are almost done, drain the water and toss in the sauce! Mix it all up and allow it to finish cooking in the sauce.
Serve with a bed of rice or cauliflower rice, if desired!
