Ingredients

Scale

Main Vegetables:

  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup snap peas
  • 1 medium carrot, thinly sliced
  • 3 green onions, chopped

Aromatics and Seasonings:

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil

Cooking Oils:

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • Cooked rice or noodles (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Warm a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat, allowing the vegetable oil to shimmer and reach optimal cooking temperature around 375°F.
  2. Introduce sliced bell peppers, broccoli florets, snap peas, and julienned carrots into the hot pan, tossing vigorously to ensure even heat distribution.
  3. Sauté the vegetables for 3-4 minutes, maintaining a constant motion to preserve their vibrant colors and crisp texture while preventing burning.
  4. Incorporate minced garlic, freshly grated ginger, and thinly sliced green onions, stirring continuously to release their aromatic essence.
  5. Drizzle soy sauce and sesame oil across the vegetable medley, gently coating each piece to enhance flavor and create a glossy finish.
  6. Allow the sauce to caramelize slightly and heat through for an additional 60-90 seconds, ensuring all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
  7. Transfer the piping hot stir-fry directly onto a bed of steamed rice or freshly prepared noodles, serving immediately to maintain optimal temperature and texture.

Notes

  • Customize your veggie blend by adding or swapping seasonal vegetables for variety and nutrition.
  • Use high heat and keep vegetables moving constantly to maintain their crisp texture and prevent burning.
  • Create a gluten-free version by substituting regular soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos.
  • Boost protein content by adding tofu, edamame, or scrambled eggs during the stir-frying process.
