🥕 Ingredients

For the Stir-Fry:

  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil (or sesame oil for extra flavor)
  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 carrot, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup snap peas or green beans
  • 1/2 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Sauce:

  • 3 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce (or hoisin sauce for vegetarian)
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water

Optional Toppings:

  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • A drizzle of sesame oil

🔪 Step-by-Step Directions

  1. Prepare the ingredients. Wash, slice, and arrange all the vegetables. Stir-frying happens fast, so have everything ready before heating your pan. 🍅
  2. Make the sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster or hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and cornstarch mixture until smooth. Set aside.
  3. Heat the wok or pan. Add vegetable oil and let it heat over medium-high flame until it shimmers.
  4. Sauté aromatics. Toss in the minced garlic, grated ginger, and sliced onion. Stir for 30 seconds to release their fragrance—your kitchen will smell divine! 🌸
  5. Add the vegetables. Start with the ones that take longer to cook—broccoli, carrots, and snap peas. Stir-fry for about 2–3 minutes.
  6. Add softer veggies. Mix in bell peppers and mushrooms. Continue stir-frying for another 2–3 minutes until the veggies are tender-crisp and bright in color.
  7. Add the sauce. Pour your prepared sauce over the vegetables. Stir well to coat everything evenly. The cornstarch will thicken the sauce into a glossy glaze that clings beautifully to every bite. 🍶
  8. Season and finish. Taste and adjust with salt, pepper, or a splash more soy sauce. Add sesame oil if desired for extra aroma.
  9. Serve hot. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions. Serve immediately over warm jasmine rice or noodles.

Your vibrant, mouthwatering veggie stir-fry is ready in under 20 minutes—crisp, saucy, and utterly satisfying! 🌈
