Wash and prepare all vegetables. Chop the broccoli into small florets, slice the red bell pepper into thin strips, slice the carrot into thin rounds, and halve the snow peas if large.
Cut the zucchini into half moons, and slice the mushrooms. Mince the garlic cloves and grate or finely chop the ginger.
In a large non-stick skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and ginger and stir fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the broccoli, red bell pepper, and carrot to the skillet. Stir fry for about 3 minutes until they start to soften.
Add the snow peas, zucchini, and mushrooms to the skillet. Continue to stir fry for another 3-4 minutes until all vegetables are crisp-tender.
Drizzle the low sodium soy sauce over the vegetables and toss to coat evenly. Stir fry for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Remove from heat and transfer the stir-fried vegetables to a serving dish.
Garnish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and finely chopped green onions.
Serve hot as a side dish or over a bed of rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
