Ingredients
  

2 cups broccoli florets

1 bell pepper (your choice of color), sliced into thin strips

1 medium carrot, julienned (cut into thin matchsticks)

1 cup snap peas, trimmed

1 cup mushrooms, sliced (preferably shiitake or button)

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated (for a zesty kick)

2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or sesame oil for richer flavor)

3 tablespoons soy sauce (low-sodium recommended)

1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup for a vegan alternative)

1 tablespoon rice vinegar (for tanginess)

1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (for thickening the sauce)

Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Green onions, finely chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prep the Veggies: Wash all your vegetables thoroughly and then chop them into bite-sized pieces. This preparation will help streamline the cooking process since stir-frying is done at high speed!

    Make the Sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Whisk in the cornstarch and water mixture until smooth. Set the sauce aside to allow the flavors to meld.

      Heat the Pan: In a large frying pan or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. To check if the oil is ready, drop in a small piece of vegetable; it should sizzle immediately.

        Cook the Vegetables: Add the broccoli florets, bell pepper strips, and julienned carrot to the pan. Stir-fry these for about 3-4 minutes, allowing them to soften slightly while maintaining their vibrant color and crunch.

          Add the Snap Peas and Mushrooms: Throw in the snap peas and sliced mushrooms, and continue to stir-fry for another 2 minutes. Aim for an appealing mix of colors and textures in your veggie medley!

            Pour in the Sauce: Quickly stir the soy-ginger sauce again (as the cornstarch may settle) and pour it over the cooked vegetables. Continue stir-frying for an additional 2 minutes to let the sauce thicken and evenly coat the veggies with its delicious flavor.

              Serve Creativity: Remove the stir-fry from heat and transfer it to a large serving dish. Garnish generously with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for a fresh and crunchy finish.

                Enjoy! Serve the veggie stir-fry over a bed of fluffy cooked rice or quinoa for a nourishing meal, or enjoy it as a vibrant side dish alongside your favorite protein.
