Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Broccoli florets
- 1 cup Carrots (sliced into thin rounds)
- 1 medium Red bell pepper (sliced into strips)
- 1 medium Zucchini (sliced into half-moons)
- 1 cup Sugar snap peas
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Heat a dry skillet over medium heat and add the sesame seeds.
Toast the sesame seeds, stirring frequently, for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown and fragrant. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil. Set the sauce mixture aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the broccoli florets and sliced carrots to the skillet. Stir-fry for 2 minutes.
Add the red bell pepper, zucchini, and sugar snap peas to the skillet. Stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
Pour the prepared sauce over the vegetables and toss to coat evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to slightly reduce and glaze the vegetables.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper to taste.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the vegetable medley to a serving dish.
Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds on top for garnish.
Serve immediately as a side dish or over rice/noodles for a complete meal.
