Ingredients
  

4 cups green cabbage, thinly sliced

1 cup carrots, julienned

1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced

1 cup snap peas, trimmed

1 cup broccoli florets

3 green onions, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

3 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: 1 cup cooked quinoa or brown rice for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Vegetables: Start by thoroughly washing all your vegetables. To achieve an even cook, julienne the carrots into thin matchstick pieces. Slice the red bell pepper and cabbage into thin strips, making sure they are uniform in size for optimal stir-frying.

    Heat the Wok: Place a large wok or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil. Allow the oil to heat until shimmering. Once hot, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir continuously for about 30 seconds, or until you can smell their wonderful fragrance—be careful not to let them burn!

      Cook the Cabbage: Add the sliced cabbage to the wok, tossing to combine with the garlic and ginger. Stir-fry the cabbage for approximately 3-4 minutes, allowing it to soften slightly while retaining its vibrant color.

        Add the Remaining Vegetables: Introduce the julienned carrots, sliced bell pepper, trimmed snap peas, and broccoli florets to the wok. Stir-fry everything together for an additional 5-7 minutes, making sure to keep the vegetables vibrant and slightly crunchy—the key is to keep them moving in the pan!

          Season the Stir-Fry: Drizzle the soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar over the vegetable medley. Toss everything well, allowing the sauce to coat every piece evenly. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender yet still have a satisfying crunch.

            Finish With Green Onions and Sesame: Once the stir-fry is perfectly cooked, remove the wok from heat. Fold in the chopped green onions and sprinkle with sesame seeds for a lovely garnish. Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting as needed.

              Serve: For a heartier meal, serve the crunchy stir-fry over a bed of cooked quinoa or brown rice. This adds both texture and extra nutrients. Enjoy your colorful and healthy cabbage stir-fry bowl while it's still hot!
