Begin by preparing all the vegetables. Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets, slice the medium zucchini into half-moons, and julienne the red bell pepper and carrot. Trim the ends off the snow peas.
Mince the garlic cloves and grate or finely mince the ginger.
Slice the green onions thinly, remembering to separate the white parts from the green stalks for garnish later.
In a large wok or skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Add the minced garlic and ginger to the wok and sautΓ© for about 30 seconds until fragrant, continuously stirring to prevent burning.
Add the broccoli florets, carrot, and red bell pepper to the wok. Stir-fry for about 3 minutes until they begin to soften.
Mix in the zucchini and snow peas. Continue stir-frying for another 3-4 minutes until all the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Pour the soy sauce over the veggies, add the sesame oil, and season with black pepper to your taste. Stir well to coat all the vegetables evenly in the sauce.
Continue cooking for 1 more minute, allowing the soy sauce to slightly reduce.
Remove from heat and sprinkle the sliced green onions over the top.
Serve the stir-fried vegetables immediately, either as a side dish or a main course.
