Ingredients
  

2 cups broccoli florets

1 bell pepper (any color), sliced

1 medium carrot, julienned

1 cup snap peas

1 cup mushrooms, sliced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

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

3 tablespoons soy sauce

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

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

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

Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prep the Veggies: Start by washing and cutting all your vegetables. This will ensure a smooth cooking process as stir-frying is quick!

    Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and the cornstarch mixture. Set aside.

      Heat the Pan: In a large frying pan or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot. You can test it by adding a small piece of vegetable; it should sizzle.

        Cook the Vegetables: Add the broccoli florets, sliced bell pepper, and julienned carrot to the pan. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes, until the veggies start to become tender but still retain some crunch.

          Add the Snap Peas and Mushrooms: Toss in the snap peas and sliced mushrooms, stirring for another 2 minutes. The goal is to have all vegetables bright and vibrant!

            Pour in the Sauce: Give the prepared soy-ginger sauce a quick stir (it may have settled) and add it to the pan with the vegetables. Stir-fry everything together for about 2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the veggies evenly.

              Serve Creativity: Remove from heat. Transfer the stir-fry to a serving dish and sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for a fresh finish.

                Enjoy! Serve over cooked rice or quinoa for a wholesome meal or enjoy it as a side dish.
