• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Heat a dry skillet over medium heat and add the sesame seeds.

Step 2

Toast the sesame seeds, stirring frequently, for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown and fragrant. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside.

Step 6

Add the red bell pepper, zucchini, and sugar snap peas to the skillet. Stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
