- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Instructions
Begin by preparing the vegetables. Cut the broccoli into small florets and thinly slice the carrots and red bell pepper.
Mince the garlic cloves and finely grate the ginger. Slice the green onions for garnish and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce and sesame oil together to form the sauce.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the hot oil, stirring frequently for about 30 seconds until they become fragrant.
Add the broccoli, carrots, and red bell pepper to the skillet, stirring constantly for 5-6 minutes or until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
Pour the soy sauce mixture over the vegetables and stir well to ensure all pieces are coated evenly.
Sprinkle in the black pepper and stir to combine.
Continue to cook and stir the vegetables for an additional minute to allow the flavors to meld.
Transfer the stir-fried vegetables to a serving dish.
Sprinkle the white sesame seeds and sliced green onions over the top as a garnish before serving.
