Start by washing all the vegetables. Cut the broccoli into florets, peel and slice the carrots into thin rounds, and slice the red bell pepper into thin strips.
Trim the ends of the snow peas and set all the vegetables aside.
Mince the garlic and ginger finely.
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and ginger to the hot oil and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the broccoli florets and carrot slices to the skillet and stir-fry for 3 minutes, until they start to become tender but still crisp.
Add the red bell pepper strips and snow peas to the pan, continuing to stir-fry for another 2 minutes.
Pour the soy sauce over the vegetables, stirring to coat them evenly. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce slightly.
Sprinkle the sesame seeds, salt, and black pepper over the stir-fry, mixing well to combine.
Squeeze the juice of the lime over the stir-fried vegetables and give it a final toss.
Slice the green onions and sprinkle them over the stir-fry before serving.
Serve hot as a main dish or a side, alongside steamed rice or your favorite grain.
