Wash all vegetables thoroughly. Cut the broccoli into small florets, slice the red bell pepper into thin strips, and julienne the carrot.
Trim the ends of the snow peas. Slice the button mushrooms and set aside.
Mince the garlic cloves and finely chop the ginger.
In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water. Stir until the cornstarch is completely dissolved, forming a smooth sauce.
Heat a large wok or a deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and allow it to heat up.
Add minced garlic and chopped ginger to the oil. Stir fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the broccoli florets, red bell pepper, carrot slices, snow peas, and mushrooms to the wok. Stir fry the vegetables continuously for 5-7 minutes, or until they are crisp-tender.
Pour the prepared sauce over the vegetables and continue to stir fry for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the vegetables evenly.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix well to combine.
Remove from heat and serve immediately as a side dish or with steamed rice as a light main dish.
