Instructions
- Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add 4 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
- Step 2: Add 1 cup broccoli florets, 1 medium carrot sliced 1/4 inch thick, and 1 cup snap peas to the pan. Stir-fry for 5-6 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp and bright in color.
- Step 3: Mix 3 tbsp low sodium soy sauce, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tsp sesame oil, and 1/4 tsp black pepper in a small bowl. Pour this garlic soy glaze over the vegetables, tossing to coat evenly. Cook for another 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and clings to the vegetables.
- Step 4: Remove from heat and garnish with 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds and 2 sliced green onions. Serve warm as a side or over steamed rice for a light meal.
