Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp grated ginger, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp sesame oil, 1 tsp cornstarch, and 2 tbsp water until smooth.
  2. Step 2: Heat a large wok or skillet over high heat until smoking. Add 2 tbsp water and swirl to create steam, then add 2 cups broccoli florets and 1 cup julienned carrots. Stir-fry for 3 minutes until crisp-tender.
  3. Step 3: Add 1 cup snow peas and 1 sliced red bell pepper, stir-frying for 2 more minutes until vegetables are bright and vibrant.
  4. Step 4: Pour the prepared sauce mixture over vegetables and stir constantly for 1-2 minutes until sauce thickens and coats vegetables evenly.
  5. Step 5: Remove from heat immediately to prevent overcooking, as vegetables should remain crisp with a glossy finish.
