Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they turn bright green and begin to soften.

Add the corn kernels and continue stir-frying for another 2-3 minutes until both the broccoli and corn are tender but still crisp.
Step 8
Drizzle the soy sauce and sesame oil over the vegetables, and sprinkle in the salt and black pepper. Toss everything well to evenly coat.

Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
