Instructions
- Step 1: Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger, 1 teaspoon red chili flakes, and 3 minced garlic cloves; stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
- Step 2: Add 1 medium sliced red bell pepper, 1 cup broccoli florets, 1 large julienned carrot, and 1 cup snap peas to the wok. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp and brightly colored.
- Step 3: Pour in 3 tablespoons soy sauce and 1 tablespoon rice vinegar; toss everything to coat evenly. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and clings to the veggies.
- Step 4: Remove from heat and drizzle 1 teaspoon sesame oil over the stir-fry, tossing once more. Garnish with 2 sliced green onions and 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds before serving.
