Ingredients

• 2 cups Broccoli florets
• 1 cup Carrots, thinly sliced
• 1 large Red bell pepper, sliced into strips
• 1 cup Mushrooms, sliced
• 1 cup Snow peas
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce (use tamari for gluten-free)
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 2 cups Cooked rice or noodles (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare all the vegetables: chop the broccoli into bite-sized florets, slice the carrots thinly, cut the red bell pepper into strips, and slice the mushrooms.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water. Stir until the cornstarch is fully dissolved to create the stir-fry sauce. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.

Step 4

Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the broccoli, carrots, and red bell peppers to the wok. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes or until the vegetables begin to soften slightly.

Step 6

Add the mushrooms and snow peas. Continue stir-frying for another 2-3 minutes until all the vegetables are tender-crisp, but not overcooked.

Step 7

Pour the prepared stir-fry sauce over the vegetables. Stir well to coat all the vegetables evenly. Allow it to cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional soy sauce or salt, if needed.

Step 9

Transfer the stir-fried vegetables to a serving bowl. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top for garnish, if desired.

Step 10

Serve hot as is, or over cooked rice or noodles for a complete meal.
