Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Snow peas
- 1 medium, julienned Carrot
- 1 medium, sliced into strips Red bell pepper
- 3 cloves, minced Garlic
- 1 tablespoon, grated Ginger
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon, optional for garnish Sesame seeds
Instructions
Wash and trim the snow peas by removing the tough strings along their edges, if necessary.
Julienne the carrot and slice the red bell pepper into thin strips. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water. Whisk until smooth and set aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the carrots and red bell pepper to the skillet. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp.
Add the snow peas to the skillet and stir-fry for another 2 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp.
Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet, stirring quickly to coat the vegetables. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and evenly coats the vegetables.
Remove the stir fry from heat and transfer to a serving dish.
Garnish with sesame seeds, if desired, and serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles.
