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: Begin by thoroughly washing all the vegetables to remove any dirt. Thinly slice the cabbage, ensuring it's in uniform strips for even cooking. Julienne the carrots into matchstick shapes and slice the red bell pepper into thin strips. Trim the snap peas and separate the broccoli into small florets.

    Heat the Wok: In a large wok or deep skillet, pour in the vegetable oil and heat it over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering but not smoking, carefully add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir constantly for about 30 seconds until they release a fragrant aroma.

      Cook the Cabbage: Introduce the thinly sliced cabbage to the hot wok. Begin stir-frying it for approximately 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage begins to soften and wilt but still retains some crunch.

        Add the Remaining Vegetables: Gradually add the julienned carrots, sliced bell pepper, snap peas, and broccoli florets into the wok. Continue stir-frying for an additional 5-7 minutes, making sure to keep the vegetables vibrant in color and slightly crunchy in texture.

          Season the Stir-Fry: Pour in the soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar, tossing all the ingredients together to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated in the flavorful sauce. Allow it to cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

            Finish With Green Onions and Sesame: Once the vegetables reach the perfect tender-crisp bite, take the wok off the heat. Gently fold in the chopped green onions and sprinkle sesame seeds over the top. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper according to your taste preference.

              Serve: For a nutritious and hearty meal, serve the vibrant stir-fry over a bed of cooked quinoa or brown rice. Enjoy your crunchy cabbage stir-fry bowl while it's hot for the best flavor and texture!
