Add carrot; stir-fry for 1 minute. Add celery; stir-fry for 1 minute. Add red or green sweet pepper and green onions; stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes more or until vegetables are crisp-tender.

Return all of the cooked vegetables to wok. Add corn. Stir to coat. Cook and stir about 1 minute more or until heated through. Serve immediately over cooked rice or Fried Wonton Strips. Makes 4 servings.
