- 3 tablespoons soy sauce

Instructions
- Warm a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat, allowing the vegetable oil to shimmer and reach optimal cooking temperature around 375°F.
- Introduce sliced bell peppers, broccoli florets, snap peas, and julienned carrots into the hot pan, tossing vigorously to ensure even heat distribution.

- Drizzle soy sauce and sesame oil across the vegetable medley, gently coating each piece to enhance flavor and create a glossy finish.
- Allow the sauce to caramelize slightly and heat through for an additional 60-90 seconds, ensuring all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- 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.
