Ingredients

• 4 cups Broccoli florets

• 3 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Toasted sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
• 2 stalks Green onions
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash all vegetables thoroughly under running water and pat dry.

Step 2

Cut the broccoli into small, even-sized florets. Slice the red bell pepper into thin strips. Peel the carrot and cut it into thin rounds. Trim the ends of the snow peas and remove the strings if necessary.

Step 3

Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Grate or finely chop the fresh ginger.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix together the low-sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, and toasted sesame oil. Set aside.

Step 5

Heat the olive oil in a large, non-stick frying pan or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Add the minced garlic and ginger to the pan and stir-fry for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.

Step 7

Add the broccoli florets to the pan and stir-fry for 2 minutes.

Step 8

Add the sliced carrot rounds and red bell pepper strips to the pan. Continue to stir-fry for another 3 minutes, or until the vegetables start to become tender but still vibrant and crisp.

Step 9

Stir in the snow peas and cook for an additional 1–2 minutes.

Step 10

Pour the soy sauce mixture over the vegetables and quickly toss everything to coat evenly.

Step 11

Sprinkle the sesame seeds and black pepper over the stir fry and give a final toss.

Step 12

Transfer the stir fry to a serving dish, garnish with finely sliced green onions, and serve immediately.
