Instructions

Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp sesame oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add 1 tbsp julienned fresh ginger and 2 thinly sliced garlic cloves; stir-fry for 30 seconds until aromatic but not browned.
Step 2: Add 1 medium sliced red bell pepper, 1 cup broccoli florets, 1 cup snap peas, and 1 large thinly sliced carrot to the wok. Stir-fry continuously for 4-5 minutes until vegetables are bright and crisp-tender.
Step 3: Mix in 3 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tbsp honey, tossing to coat the vegetables evenly. Cook for an additional 1 minute until sauce thickens slightly.
