Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 medium carrots
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 cup snap peas
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash and prepare the vegetables: cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets, slice the carrots into thin rounds, cut the red bell pepper into thin strips, and trim the ends of the snap peas.
Peel and finely grate the ginger. Mince the garlic cloves.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the grated ginger and minced garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the broccoli, carrots, and red bell pepper to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften but remain crisp.
Add the snap peas, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Continue to stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until the snap peas are tender and bright green.
Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the vegetables and give everything one final stir.
Remove from heat and serve immediately as a side dish or over steamed rice for a complete meal.
