Ingredients
  

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 bell pepper (red or yellow), thinly sliced

1 medium zucchini, cut into half-moons

1 cup broccoli florets, cut small

1 cup snap peas, trimmed

2 cloves garlic, finely minced

1-inch piece fresh ginger, grated

1 carrot, julienned

½ cup teriyaki sauce (store-bought or homemade)

1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted

2 green onions, finely chopped

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Cooked rice or noodles, for serving

Instructions
 

Prep the Ingredients: Begin by thoroughly washing all the vegetables. Slice the bell pepper, zucchini, and carrot into uniform pieces, and cut the broccoli into small florets. Set aside on a cutting board for easy access.

    Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or wok, pour in the vegetable oil and heat over medium-high setting until it shimmers.

      Sauté the Aromatics: Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for about 30 seconds, stirring constantly until they become fragrant. Be cautious not to allow them to burn, as this can give a bitter flavor.

        Cook the Vegetables: Add the sliced bell pepper, zucchini, broccoli florets, snap peas, and julienned carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for approximately 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are vibrant and tender-crisp.

          Add the Teriyaki Sauce: After the vegetables have reached the desired doneness, pour in the teriyaki sauce. Toss everything gently to ensure all the veggies are well-coated with the sauce. Allow to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until everything is heated through.

            Season and Garnish: Taste the stir-fry and adjust the seasoning with salt and black pepper as needed. Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions over the top for a pop of color and added flavor.

              Serve: Remove the skillet from the heat and serve the vibrant stir-fry over a bed of warm cooked rice or noodles. Enjoy the delightful blend of textures and flavors in each bite!
