Begin by preparing the vegetables. Cut the red and yellow bell peppers into strips. Slice the carrots into thin matchsticks. Cut the red onion into thin wedges. Mince the garlic cloves and grate the fresh ginger.
In a large wok or frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan, stirring frequently for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the red onion wedges to the pan and cook for about 2 minutes or until they start to soften.
Increase the heat to high and add the broccoli florets, bell pepper strips, and carrots. Stir fry for about 5 minutes or until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
Add the snow peas to the pan and stir fry for another 2 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil.
Pour the sauce over the vegetables and stir well to coat all the vegetables evenly.
Continue to stir fry for an additional minute to blend the flavors.
Remove the stir fry from heat and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
Serve the stir fry hot, optionally with a side of brown rice or quinoa for a more filling meal.
