• 1 cup Snow peas, trimmed
• 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced

• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
• 2 teaspoons Toasted sesame seeds
• 1 tablespoon Green onion, chopped
• 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and prepare all the vegetables: Cut the broccoli into small florets, thinly slice the carrots, red bell pepper, and zucchini, and trim the ends of the snow peas.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes (if using); set the sauce aside.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the sesame oil.

Step 4

Once the oil is hot, add the garlic and ginger, and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the broccoli, carrots, and bell pepper to the skillet, and stir-fry for 3 minutes.

Step 6

Add the zucchini and snow peas, and continue to stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

Step 7

Pour the prepared sesame sauce over the vegetables, and toss to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Remove from heat and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions.

Step 9

Serve the Sesame Vegetable Medley immediately as a side dish or over rice or noodles for a light main course.
