Wash and prepare the vegetables: Cut the broccoli into small florets, slice the red and yellow bell peppers into thin strips, peel and julienne the carrot, trim the snow peas, thinly slice the red cabbage, and cut the zucchini into half-moons.
Mince the garlic and grate the ginger.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, water, and honey to make the stir-fry sauce. Set aside.
Heat a large wok or a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and swirl to coat the pan.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until aromatic.
Increase the heat to high. Add the broccoli, carrot, and bell peppers and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently.
Add the snow peas, red cabbage, and zucchini. Continue to stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
Pour the stir-fry sauce over the vegetables and toss to coat evenly. Cook for about 1 minute until the sauce thickens and glazes the vegetables.
Remove from heat and garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
Serve immediately over cooked rice or noodles, if desired. Enjoy your colorful and healthy Rainbow Vegetable Stir Fry!
