Broccoli Pepper Stir-Fry   

Directions:

Before you begin cooking, cut up all vegetables to approximately the same size. A good stir-fry is made very quickly, and you won't have time to prepare the vegetables once you start. To keep vegetables crisp and oil absorption low, the key is to have a very hot wok or skillet and use oil with a high smoke point. The oil is ready when you add a drop of water and it pops into steam on contact. Be sure to use the freshest vegetables, and remember that certain vegetables cook faster than others - depending on their density and moisture content. Start with vegetables like carrots, green beans and broccoli - those with higher density of water. After these vegetables have been sauteed for a couple minutes, add the thinner, lower-density vegetables like snap peas, red peppers, mushrooms and spinach.
Heat oil in medium skillet over high heat.
Add broccoli, carrots, onion, and garlic; stir constantly for 3 minutes.
Add teriyaki sauce, red pepper, gluten strips, mushrooms, and salt; continue stirring over high heat until vegetables are slightly crunchy.
Serve over brown rice.
Sprinkle with nuts.

Teriyaki Sauce:
Combine first five ingredients in medium saucepan; bring to a boil.
Mix cornstarch and cold water until smooth; add to sauce.
Stir constantly until thickened.

Yield: Three 1/2-cup servings.
