Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Cut 2 cups broccoli florets, 1 cup peeled carrots (julienne), and 1/2 cup sliced red bell pepper into uniform 1/2-inch pieces. Trim 1 cup snap peas and cut in half.
  2. Step 2: Finely mince 3 garlic cloves and grate 1 tbsp fresh ginger. Whisk 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tsp sesame oil, 1 tsp cornstarch, and 1/4 cup water in a small bowl.
  3. Step 3: Heat 1 tbsp oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat until smoking. Add broccoli and carrots, stir-fry for 3 minutes until bright green and crisp-tender.
  4. Step 4: Add bell pepper and snap peas, stir-fry for 2 more minutes until vegetables are vibrant and slightly charred at edges.
  5. Step 5: Push vegetables to the side, add minced garlic and ginger to the hot oil, and stir for 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in sauce mixture and cook, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens and coats vegetables (about 1 minute).
