Prepare the vegetables: cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets, slice the red bell pepper into thin strips, peel and slice the carrot thinly (on a diagonal if preferred), trim the snow peas, and slice the mushrooms.
Mince the garlic cloves and grate the ginger using a microplane or fine grater.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water until smooth. This will be the stir fry sauce.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the garlic and ginger to the pan, stirring for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Increase the heat to high and add the broccoli, bell pepper, and carrot to the skillet. Stir fry for 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
Add the snow peas and mushrooms to the skillet, continuing to stir fry for another 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Pour the stir fry sauce over the vegetables, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens and evenly coats the vegetables.
Remove the skillet from heat and slice the green onions, then sprinkle over the stir fry along with sesame seeds.
Serve the stir fry hot as a main course or side dish alongside steamed rice or noodles.
