Ingredients
  

1 cup assorted bell peppers (red, yellow, and green), sliced into strips

1 cup zucchini, sliced into half-moons

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup baby carrots, sliced into rounds

1 cup broccoli florets, cut into bite-sized pieces

1 cup snap peas, trimmed and cleaned

½ cup red onion, thinly sliced

3 cloves garlic, finely minced

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon ginger, freshly grated

Salt and pepper, to taste

Sesame seeds, for garnish

Fresh parsley or cilantro, for garnish (optional)

Optional protein: 1 cup cooked tofu, chicken, or shrimp

Instructions
 

Prep the Vegetables: Begin by thoroughly washing all the vegetables. Slice the bell peppers, zucchini, baby carrots, and red onion according to the ingredient list. Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and trim the snap peas. Ensure that your optional protein, like tofu or shrimp, is cooked and ready to add.

    Heat the Wok or Skillet: Take a large wok or skillet and place it over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and allow it to heat up until it shimmers, but make sure it doesn’t start to smoke.

      Start with Aromatics: Once the oil is hot, incorporate the minced garlic and freshly grated ginger. Stir-fry these aromatics for about 30 seconds, just until they become fragrant, taking care not to let them burn.

        Add Onions and Carrots: Next, toss in the thinly sliced red onion and round slices of baby carrots. Continue to stir-fry for approximately 2-3 minutes until they start to soften and release their natural sweetness.

          Incorporate the Rest of the Veggies: Now, add the colorful bell peppers, zucchini half-moons, broccoli florets, and snap peas into the mix. Stir-fry these vegetables for an additional 5 minutes, allowing them to become vibrant and tender-crisp.

            Add Flavor: Pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil, stirring thoroughly to coat all the vegetables in the sauce. If you’re using your optional protein, stir it in at this point to warm it through.

              Season to Taste: Sample the stir fry and season with salt and pepper according to your preference, ensuring everything is well mixed.

                Serve: Once cooked to your liking, remove the wok or skillet from heat and transfer the stir fry to a serving dish. To enhance the dish, sprinkle sesame seeds over the top and, if desired, add a touch of fresh parsley or cilantro for extra flavor and a pop of color.

                  Enjoy: This vibrant and nutritious veggie stir fry is great served on its own or paired with steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
