• 1 medium Red bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
• 1 medium Yellow bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
• 1 cup Snow peas, trimmed
• 1 cup Mushrooms, sliced (button or shiitake)
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil or sesame oil
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, freshly grated
• 3 tablespoons Black bean sauce
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 1 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons Scallions, chopped (for garnish)
• 4 cups Cooked white or brown rice

Directions

Step 1

Prepare all vegetables by washing, trimming, and slicing them as directed in the ingredient list.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the black bean sauce, soy sauce, cornstarch, and water. Whisk until the cornstarch dissolves completely and set the sauce aside.

Step 3

Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil or sesame oil and swirl to coat the pan.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Toss in the broccoli florets, carrots, and mushrooms. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes or until they begin to soften.

Step 6

Add the red and yellow bell peppers along with the snow peas. Stir-fry for an additional 2 minutes, ensuring the vegetables remain crisp and vibrant.

Step 7

Lower the heat slightly and pour in the prepared black bean sauce mixture. Stir well to coat all the vegetables evenly.

Step 8

Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the vegetables.

Step 9

Taste the stir fry and adjust seasoning if necessary by adding a small dash of soy sauce as desired.

Step 10

Transfer the stir fry to a serving dish and garnish with chopped scallions.

Step 11

Serve hot over cooked white or brown rice for a complete meal.
