Ingredients

• 2 cups Broccoli florets
• 1 medium Carrot, thinly sliced
• 1 large Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 cup Snow peas
• 1 small Yellow onion, thinly sliced
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 teaspoons Ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce (low sodium)
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare all vegetables by washing, peeling (if necessary), and slicing them as directed in the ingredients list. Set them aside in separate piles for easy access.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, cornstarch, and water. Whisk well until the cornstarch is fully dissolved. Set the sauce mixture aside.

Step 3

Heat a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sesame oil and let it warm up for about 30 seconds.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan. Stir frequently and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.

Step 5

Add the broccoli florets and sliced carrots to the pan. Stir fry for 2-3 minutes, until the vegetables begin to soften but remain crisp.

Step 6

Add the sliced bell pepper, snow peas, and onion. Continue to stir fry for another 2-3 minutes, until all the vegetables are crisp-tender.

Step 7

Sprinkle in the salt and black pepper. Stir to combine.

Step 8

Give the prepared sauce mixture a quick stir, then pour it into the pan with the vegetables. Toss everything together to coat the vegetables evenly.

Step 9

Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce slightly thickens and clings to the vegetables.

Step 10

Remove the stir fry from heat and transfer it to a serving dish. Garnish with sesame seeds if desired.
