Ingredients

• 2 cups broccoli
• 1 cup carrots
• 1 large red bell pepper
• 1 cup snow peas
• 1/2 cup red onion
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 2 tbsp honey
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 tbsp ginger
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1 tsp cornstarch
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil

Instructions

1. Step 1: Cut 2 cups broccoli florets, 1 cup peeled and sliced carrots, 1 large diced red bell pepper, and 1 cup snow peas into uniform 1/2-inch pieces; set aside. Thinly slice 1/2 cup red onion.
2. Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 2 tbsp honey, 1 tsp sesame oil, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tbsp grated ginger until fully combined.
3. Step 3: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat until smoking. Add 1/2 cup red onion and stir-fry for 1 minute until translucent, then add all vegetables and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until crisp-tender and vibrant green.
4. Step 4: Push vegetables to one side of the pan, pour the sauce mixture into the center, and simmer for 1 minute until slightly thickened. Toss to coat all vegetables evenly.
5. Step 5: In a separate bowl, mix 1 tsp cornstarch with 2 tbsp cold water, then stir into the sauce to thicken it to a glossy consistency that coats the back of a spoon.
