Rinse the baby carrots, baby corn, and snap peas in cold water. If needed, cut the baby corn into bite-sized pieces.
Slice the zucchini into thin rounds. Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
In a small bowl, mix together the oyster sauce, soy sauce, sugar, water, and sesame oil. Set aside.
Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and swirl to coat the pan.
Add the minced garlic to the hot oil and stir-fry for 30 seconds or until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the baby carrots and baby corn to the pan. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften slightly.
Add the snap peas and zucchini to the pan. Stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes, keeping the vegetables crisp-tender.
Pour the sauce mixture over the vegetables. Toss everything together to coat the vegetables evenly in the sauce.
Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to slightly thicken and adhere to the vegetables.
Remove the stir-fry from heat and transfer to a serving dish.
Optionally, sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over the top before serving for added flavor and texture.
Serve immediately as a side dish or with steamed rice for a light meal.
