Instructions

Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 3 cloves minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
Step 2: Add 2 cups broccoli florets, 1 medium sliced red bell pepper, 1 large julienned carrot, and 1 cup snap peas; stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender and bright in color.
Step 3: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp sesame oil, 1 tsp cornstarch, and 1/4 cup water until smooth. Pour the sauce into the wok and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens and coats the vegetables.
Step 4: Remove from heat, sprinkle 1 tsp sesame seeds over the top, and toss gently before serving.
