Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tsp sesame oil, 1 tsp cornstarch, and 2 tbsp water until smooth to create the sauce.
  2. Step 2: Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat until smoking. Add 1 tsp sesame oil, then immediately add 2 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, stir-frying for 15 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
  3. Step 3: Add 1 cup broccoli florets, 1/2 cup julienned carrot, 1/2 cup trimmed snap peas, and 1/2 sliced bell pepper. Stir-fry for 3 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender and vibrant green.
  4. Step 4: Pour the prepared sauce over the vegetables, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens and coats all ingredients within 1-2 minutes, bubbling gently.
  5. Step 5: Remove from heat, sprinkle with 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds, and toss to distribute evenly. Serve immediately while vegetables are still crisp and bright.
