Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil (e.g., canola, sunflower, or avocado oil)
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Ginger, minced
• 2 cups Broccoli florets
• 1 cup Carrots, thinly sliced
• 1 Red bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
• 1 cup Snow peas
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce (ensure gluten-free if needed)
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil (optional)
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 2 Green onions, sliced

Directions

Step 1

Prepare all the vegetables by chopping them into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic and ginger. Slice the green onions and set aside for garnish.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, cornstarch, and water until smooth. If using sesame oil, mix it in as well. Set the sauce aside.

Step 3

Heat a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and swirl to coat the pan.

Step 4

Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the broccoli florets and carrots. Stir-fry for 2 minutes to start softening them.

Step 6

Add the red bell pepper and snow peas to the wok. Stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes, or until all the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

Step 7

Give the soy sauce mixture a quick stir and pour it over the vegetables. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and coats the vegetables evenly.

Step 8

Remove the wok from the heat. Garnish the stir-fry with sliced green onions.

Step 9

Serve immediately as a side dish or over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
