Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger and 2 minced garlic cloves, sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  2. Step 2: Add 1 large thinly sliced red bell pepper, 1 large thinly sliced yellow bell pepper, 1 cup snap peas, and 1 medium julienned carrot. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender and brightly colored.
  3. Step 3: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp honey, and 1 tsp sesame oil. Pour this sauce over the vegetables and toss well to coat. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and glazes the veggies.
  4. Step 4: Remove from heat and sprinkle 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds and 2 thinly sliced green onion stalks over the stir fry before serving.

How do I store leftover Interactive Web-Inspired Colorful Veggie Stir Fry?

Cool to room temperature within 2 hours, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat covered in a 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes, or microwave at 70% power in 60-second bursts to keep trimmed snap peas from drying out.

Can I substitute ingredients in Interactive Web-Inspired Colorful Veggie Stir Fry?

For aromatics, dried herbs at ⅓ the volume of fresh work in a pinch. The full ingredient list is shoppable on Instacart so you can see substitutes in real time.

How do I scale Interactive Web-Inspired Colorful Veggie Stir Fry for a different number of people?

The recipe is written for 3 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 3). Cook time stays roughly the same up to 2x; for 3-4x batches, switch from a skillet to a sheet pan or stockpot so the food isn't crowded — overcrowding steams instead of browns.
