Ingredients

• 2 cups Broccoli florets
• 1 large Carrot, thinly sliced
• 1 medium Red bell pepper, julienned
• 1 medium Zucchini, sliced into half-moons
• 1 cup Snap peas
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce (low sodium)
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 2 stalks Green onions, sliced (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and prepare all the vegetables: cut the broccoli into small florets, slice the carrot thinly, julienne the red bell pepper, slice the zucchini into half-moons, and trim the snap peas if needed.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, water, and cornstarch until smooth. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and let it heat up for about 1 minute.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the broccoli, carrot, and snap peas to the pan. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes, allowing the vegetables to start softening.

Step 6

Add the red bell pepper and zucchini and stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes, until all the vegetables are tender-crisp but still vibrant in color.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to medium and pour the soy sauce mixture into the pan. Stir well to coat all the vegetables and allow the sauce to thicken, about 1 minute.

Step 8

Remove the stir-fry from heat and garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions, if desired.

Step 9

Serve immediately as a standalone dish or over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
