Ingredients

¼ cup low-sodium vegetable broth
1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon brown rice vinegar
2 teaspoon arrowroot powder
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 cup julienne-cut carrots
1 cup bias-cut celery
1 cup coarsely chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups fresh broccoli florets
1 cup chopped stemmed kale
2 cups hot cooked brown rice
2 teaspoon sesame seeds, toasted

Instructions

For sauce, in a small bowl combine the first six ingredients (through crushed red pepper) and ½ cup water. Mix well.
In a large wok or extra-large skillet cook and stir carrots, celery, onion, and garlic over high 5 minutes, adding water, 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time, as needed to prevent sticking. Add broccoli and kale; cook and stir 2 to 3 minutes or until broccoli is just starting to get tender.
Stir sauce and add to wok. Mix well; cook and stir 1 to 2 minutes or until sauce is thickened. Serve over rice. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.

This was delicious. I added a block of tofu to make it a main dish and adjusted the sauce accordingly. One of my new favorite stir-fry recipes.
