Ingredients

• 2 cups Broccoli florets
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 2 medium Carrots
• 1 cup Mushrooms (button or cremini)
• 1 cup Snow peas
• 3 large Garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce or tamari (for gluten-free)
• 2 teaspoons Rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable stock or water
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and prepare the vegetables. Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets, slice the red bell pepper into thin strips, peel and thinly slice the carrots, and clean and slice the mushrooms. Keep the snow peas whole, but trim their ends if needed.

Step 2

Mince the garlic cloves and grate the fresh ginger.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce (or tamari), rice vinegar, and vegetable stock or water. Set the sauce aside.

Step 4

Heat the sesame oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet and stir-fry for about 30 seconds, or until aromatic.

Step 6

Add the broccoli, carrots, and red bell peppers. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until they begin to soften but remain crisp.

Step 7

Add the mushrooms and snow peas to the skillet and stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the mushrooms to release some of their moisture.

Step 8

Pour the soy sauce mixture over the vegetables. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the vegetables to absorb the sauce.

Step 9

Season with salt and ground black pepper to taste. Stir one final time to ensure even distribution.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Serve immediately as a side dish or a light main course. Enjoy!
