Ingredients
  

1 cup snap peas, trimmed

1 cup asparagus, cut into 2-inch pieces

1 cup baby carrots, sliced

1 red bell pepper, julienned

1 cup broccoli florets

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons sesame oil

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon sesame seeds

1-2 green onions, sliced for garnish

Cooked jasmine or basmati rice for serving

Instructions
 

Prep the Vegetables: Begin by washing and chopping all the vegetables as described above. Set them aside to ensure an efficient stir-frying process.

    Heat the Oil: In a large non-stick skillet or a wok, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat.

      Sauté Aromatics: Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet, stir-frying for about 30 seconds or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn them.

        Add Vegetables: Toss in the snap peas, asparagus, and baby carrots first as they take a little longer to cook. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.

          Incorporate Remaining Veggies: Add the red bell pepper and broccoli florets, continuing to stir-fry for an additional 3-5 minutes until all the vegetables are vibrant in color and tender-crisp.

            Mix Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce and honey (or maple syrup) and mix well. Pour this sauce over the vegetables in the skillet, stirring to coat everything evenly.

              Finish Cooking: Cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Remove from heat once everything is well combined and heated through.

                Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced green onions on top for garnish. Serve the stir-fried vegetables over a bed of jasmine or basmati rice.
