Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Broccoli florets
- 1 large Carrot, thinly sliced
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, julienned
- 1 medium Zucchini, sliced into half-moons
- 1 cup Snap peas
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce (low sodium)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 2 stalks Green onions, sliced (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and prepare all the vegetables: cut the broccoli into small florets, slice the carrot thinly, julienne the red bell pepper, slice the zucchini into half-moons, and trim the snap peas if needed.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, water, and cornstarch until smooth. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and let it heat up for about 1 minute.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the broccoli, carrot, and snap peas to the pan. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes, allowing the vegetables to start softening.
Add the red bell pepper and zucchini and stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes, until all the vegetables are tender-crisp but still vibrant in color.
Reduce the heat to medium and pour the soy sauce mixture into the pan. Stir well to coat all the vegetables and allow the sauce to thicken, about 1 minute.
Remove the stir-fry from heat and garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions, if desired.
Serve immediately as a standalone dish or over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
