2 Instructions

Step 1. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, minced ginger, garlic, and cornstarch until smooth to create the stir-fry sauce.

Step 2. Heat the sesame oil in a large wok or non-stick skillet over high heat until it begins to shimmer.

Step 3. Add the broccoli and carrots to the pan first, stir-frying for about 3 minutes until they begin to soften but remain bright.

Step 4. Add the bell peppers and snap peas. Continue to stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until all vegetables are crisp-tender.

Step 5. Give the sauce a quick stir and pour it over the vegetables. Toss constantly for about 1 minute until the sauce thickens and creates a glossy coating.

Step 6. Remove from heat immediately and serve over steamed rice or quinoa.

Mise en place is key: have your sauce mixed and veggies chopped before you turn on the heat, as the cooking process is very fast.
