  10. small bowl stir together the soy sauce, hoisin, sesame oil, and 1 tablespoon of the cornstarch.
  11. Stir the soy sauce mixture into the vegetables. Cook until slightly thickened with the sauce
  12. nicely coating the vegetables. Transfer the vegetable mixture to a bowl and let cool completely.
  13. 4. Set up a workstation with a small bowl of water and a pastry brush a large tray or cutting board
