Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 large carrot, julienned
- 1 cup fresh snow peas
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
Prepare the vegetables: cut the broccoli into florets, slice the red bell pepper, julienne the carrot, and trim the snow peas.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet, stirring quickly for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add broccoli, red bell pepper, carrot, and snow peas to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
In a small bowl, combine vegetable broth, balsamic vinegar, and honey. Stir until honey is dissolved.
Add the broth mixture to the skillet, bringing it to a simmer.
In a separate small bowl, mix cornstarch with water until smooth. Slowly add this mixture to the skillet, stirring continuously, to thicken the sauce.
Season with salt and black pepper. Adjust seasoning if needed.
Continue to cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
Serve immediately, optionally with steamed rice or quinoa.
