1. Combine the glaze ingredients in a small bowl, and stir to mix well. Set aside.

Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are crisp-tender. Stir occasionally.
3. Reduce the heat under the skillet to low. Stir the glaze mixture, and pour over the vegetables. Stirring constantly, cook the vegetable mixture for a minute or 2, until the glaze has thickened.
