Instructions
- Prepare Vegetables: Wash all the vegetables thoroughly. Slice the bell peppers and onion, julienne the carrots, trim the snap peas, cut the broccoli into small florets, and slice the mushrooms.
- Heat Pan: Place a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, allowing it to heat up evenly.
- Sauté Aromatics: Add the minced garlic and ginger to the hot oil and stir continuously for about 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
- Cook Harder Vegetables: Add the carrots and broccoli to the pan and stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes, allowing them to soften slightly.
- Add Remaining Vegetables: Toss in the sliced bell peppers and snap peas, continuing to stir-fry for another 3 to 4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Season: Pour in 2 to 3 tablespoons of soy sauce along with 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Stir well to coat all the vegetables evenly with the sauce.
- Finish Cooking: Continue cooking for an additional 1 to 2 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
- Adjust Seasoning and Serve: Taste and adjust salt and pepper to your preference. Serve immediately, optionally garnished with sliced green onions.
Notes
- Use a large skillet or wok for best results and even cooking.
- Vegetables should remain slightly crisp to retain freshness and texture.
- Feel free to add protein like tofu, chicken, or shrimp for a more filling meal.
- Soy sauce can be substituted with tamari for a gluten-free option.
- Adjust the amount of ginger and garlic according to your taste preference.
