Ingredients
  

  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil divided
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
  • 4 cloves garlic finely minced
  • 1 medium onion sliced into thin wedges
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 cup snow peas strings removed
  • 2 medium carrots julienned
  • 1 cup green beans trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced into thin strips
  • 1 yellow bell pepper sliced into thin strips
  • 1 cup mushrooms sliced
  • ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes optional, for heat
  • Sesame seeds for garnish
  • Sliced green onions for garnish

Method
 

  1. Prepare all your vegetables before starting to cook. Washing, trimming, and cutting them to similar sizes ensures even cooking.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and cornstarch slurry. Set aside.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until it begins to shimmer.
  4. Add ginger and garlic, stir-frying for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
  5. Add onions and stir-fry for 1 minute until they begin to soften.
  6. Add the harder vegetables first: carrots and broccoli. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes.
  7. Add green beans, bell peppers, and mushrooms. Continue stir-frying for 2 minutes.
  8. Add snow peas last, as they cook quickly. Stir-fry for 1 minute.
  9. Pour the sauce mixture over the vegetables and toss to coat evenly.
  10. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and vegetables are crisp-tender.
  11. Remove from heat and sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
  12. Serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles if desired.
