Instructions

Step 1: Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 1 cup broccoli florets, 1 cup mixed bell peppers, and 1 cup sliced carrots. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender and edges are lightly charred.
Step 2: Add 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger. Stir-fry for 1 minute until fragrant and garlic turns golden—do not brown.
Step 3: Whisk 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon cornstarch, and 1/2 cup water in a small bowl. Pour sauce over vegetables and stir until glossy and thickened, about 2-3 minutes, coating all vegetables evenly.
Step 4: Serve immediately over 1/2 cup cooked brown rice, ensuring the sauce clings to each vegetable.
