Start by preparing all your vegetables. Slice the red and yellow bell peppers, julienne the carrot, and separate the broccoli into small florets.
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, fresh lime juice, cornstarch, and water. Stir until well combined and the cornstarch has completely dissolved. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and ginger. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
Raise the heat to high and add the sliced bell peppers, julienned carrot, broccoli florets, and sugar snap peas. Stir-fry the vegetables for 5-7 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
Pour the prepared sauce over the vegetables. Stir continuously to ensure the sauce evenly coats the vegetables and starts to thicken, which should take about 2 minutes.
Turn off the heat and add the chopped green onions. Give the stir fry one final toss.
Transfer the vegetable stir fry to a serving dish and sprinkle with sesame seeds for garnish.
Serve immediately while hot, and enjoy your nut-free classic vegetable stir fry as a delightful standalone dish or over steamed rice.
