Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Broccoli florets
- 1 cup Carrots, thinly sliced
- 1 large Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 medium Zucchini, thinly sliced
- 1 cup Snow peas, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Toasted sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon Green onion, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Wash and prepare all the vegetables: Cut the broccoli into small florets, thinly slice the carrots, red bell pepper, and zucchini, and trim the ends of the snow peas.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes (if using); set the sauce aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the sesame oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the garlic and ginger, and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the broccoli, carrots, and bell pepper to the skillet, and stir-fry for 3 minutes.
Add the zucchini and snow peas, and continue to stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
Pour the prepared sesame sauce over the vegetables, and toss to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Remove from heat and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
Serve the Sesame Vegetable Medley immediately as a side dish or over rice or noodles for a light main course.
