Wash and prepare the vegetables: Cut the broccoli florets into bite-sized pieces, slice the zucchini into thin half-moons, julienne the carrot, slice the red bell pepper, and halve the mushrooms.
Mince the garlic and grate the ginger. Chop the scallions into small pieces and set aside for garnish.
In a small bowl, whisk together the low-sodium soy sauce (or coconut aminos), sesame oil, and red chili flakes if using. Set the sauce aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan, stirring for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Start cooking the vegetables: Add the broccoli, carrot, and red bell pepper to the pan, stirring frequently for 3-4 minutes.
Add the zucchini, snap peas, and mushrooms to the skillet. Stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes, ensuring the vegetables remain crisp-tender.
Pour the prepared sauce over the vegetables and toss to coat evenly. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce has slightly reduced.
Remove the stir fry from heat and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped scallions.
Serve immediately and enjoy as is or pair with cauliflower rice for a more filling low-carb meal.
