Ingredients

• 2 heads broccoli
• 2 large carrot
• 1 large red bell pepper
• 1 cup snow peas
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 inch piece ginger
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 1 large lime
• 3 stalks green onions
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by washing all the vegetables. Cut the broccoli into florets, peel and slice the carrots into thin rounds, and slice the red bell pepper into thin strips.

Step 2

Trim the ends of the snow peas and set all the vegetables aside.

Step 3

Mince the garlic and ginger finely.

Step 4

Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Add the broccoli florets and carrot slices to the skillet and stir-fry for 3 minutes, until they start to become tender but still crisp.

Step 7

Add the red bell pepper strips and snow peas to the pan, continuing to stir-fry for another 2 minutes.

Step 8

Pour the soy sauce over the vegetables, stirring to coat them evenly. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce slightly.

Step 9

Sprinkle the sesame seeds, salt, and black pepper over the stir-fry, mixing well to combine.

Step 10

Squeeze the juice of the lime over the stir-fried vegetables and give it a final toss.

Step 11

Slice the green onions and sprinkle them over the stir-fry before serving.

Step 12

Serve hot as a main dish or a side, alongside steamed rice or your favorite grain.
