Prepare all your vegetables: cut broccoli into bite-sized florets, thinly slice the carrot, julienne the red bell pepper, trim snap peas, and slice the zucchini into thin half-moons.
In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos, rice vinegar, honey (or maple syrup), and sesame oil. Set the sauce mixture aside.
Heat a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the avocado oil and swirl to coat the surface.
Once the oil is shimmering, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds, or until aromatic.
Add the broccoli, carrot, and red bell pepper to the wok. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, or until the vegetables begin to soften.
Add the snap peas and zucchini to the wok, and continue stir-frying for another 2-3 minutes, or until all the vegetables are crisp-tender.
Pour the sauce mixture into the wok and toss to coat the vegetables evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes to allow the sauce to slightly thicken and coat the vegetables.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove the wok from heat.
Transfer the stir-fried vegetables to a serving dish and garnish with toasted sesame seeds, if desired.
Serve hot as a side dish or over rice or noodles for a complete meal.
