Ingredients
Instructions
Prep the Vegetables
Wash the cucumber and carrot thoroughly. Peel the carrot if desired. Cut both the cucumber and carrot into small, uniform cubes about the size of the corn kernels for even cooking.
Heat the Pan
Place a wok or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and swirl it around to coat the bottom of the pan.
Stir-Fry the Ingredients
Add the diced carrots and corn kernels to the hot pan first, as they take slightly longer to cook. Stir-fry for 2 minutes. Then, add the cucumber cubes and continue to stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
Season and Serve
Season the stir-fry with a pinch of salt to taste. Toss everything together one last time to combine, then transfer to a serving plate and enjoy hot.
