• 1 tbsp sunflower oil or neutral cooking oil
• 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 2 stalks spring onions, sliced (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare all vegetables by washing, slicing, and chopping them as specified in the ingredients list.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch with the water to create a smooth sauce. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat the sunflower oil in a large wok or frying pan over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the broccoli, red bell pepper, carrot, snap peas, mushrooms, and baby corn to the pan. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, stirring constantly, until the vegetables are bright and slightly tender but still crisp.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to medium and pour in the prepared sauce. Stir well to coat all the vegetables evenly.

Step 7

Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce slightly thickens and everything is heated through.

Step 8

Remove the stir-fry from the heat and transfer it to serving plates or bowls.

Step 9

Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced spring onions, if desired, and serve with cooked brown rice or noodles for a complete meal.
