Ready in just 30 minutes, this easy stir fry is ideal for busy weeknight dinners or meal prepping, whether served as a standalone entrée or paired with fluffy rice or noodles.
Wash and slice the red bell pepper into thin strips. Peel and diagonally slice the carrots. Break the broccoli into small florets. Trim the ends of the snap peas. Slice the red onion. Mince the garlic and ginger.
In a small bowl, combine coconut aminos, rice vinegar, maple syrup, cornstarch, and water. Stir until the cornstarch is fully dissolved. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the garlic and ginger to the pan, stirring constantly for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the red onion, red bell pepper, and carrots to the pan. Stir fry for 3 to 4 minutes until they start to soften.
Add the broccoli florets and snap peas to the pan. Stir fry for an additional 4 to 5 minutes until all vegetables are tender-crisp.
Add the prepared sauce to the vegetables in the pan. Stir well to coat them evenly. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Remove the pan from heat and drizzle sesame oil over the vegetables. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Serve hot as a main dish or as an accompaniment to rice or noodles.
