Prepare all the vegetables: cut the broccoli into small florets, julienne the carrot, thinly slice the red bell pepper, and slice the mushrooms. Rinse the snow peas and set aside.
Heat a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and sesame oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.
Add the broccoli, carrots, and red bell pepper to the wok. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, allowing the vegetables to start softening but remain crisp.
Toss in the mushrooms and snow peas. Stir-fry everything together for another 2-3 minutes.
Drizzle the soy sauce over the vegetables and season with salt and black pepper. Toss to coat the vegetables evenly in the sauce.
Remove the wok from heat. Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions over the vegetables for garnish.
Serve immediately as a side dish or light main course, paired with steamed rice or noodles if desired.
