Wash and prepare all the vegetables as directed: cut broccoli into florets, julienne slice carrots, thinly slice the red bell pepper, and slice the zucchini into half-moon shapes.
In a small bowl, whisk together gluten-free tamari sauce, cornstarch, and water to create a light sauce. Set aside.
Heat a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the broccoli, carrots, and sugar snap peas to the pan. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently.
Add the bell pepper, zucchini, and mushrooms to the pan. Stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
Reduce the heat to medium and pour the tamari sauce mixture into the vegetables. Stir to coat the vegetables evenly, and cook for an additional 2 minutes. The sauce will thicken slightly.
Drizzle the sesame oil over the stir-fried vegetables and toss to combine.
Season with salt and ground black pepper to taste.
Remove the stir-fried vegetables from the heat and garnish with sesame seeds before serving.
Serve immediately as a main dish or as a side with rice or gluten-free noodles.
