Simple vegetable stir-fry with broccoli and brown rice

We love a meal you can throw together and serve in 30 minutes or less, and this vegetarian stir-fry with broccoli and brown rice is one such meal. Now don’t curl your lip at how healthy it sounds – there is plenty of flavour! If you’re desperate for some meat, you can always add some chicken strips, but personally, we found this vegetable dinner hit the spot on its own.
