Ingredients
  

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 bell pepper, sliced (choose red or yellow for vibrant color)

1 medium zucchini, sliced into half-moons

1 cup broccoli florets, bite-sized

1 cup snap peas, trimmed

2 cloves garlic, minced finely

1-inch piece ginger, grated

1 carrot, peeled and julienned

½ cup teriyaki sauce (your choice of store-bought or homemade)

1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted

2 green onions, thinly sliced

Salt and pepper, to taste

Cooked rice or noodles, for serving

Instructions
 

Prep the Ingredients: Begin by washing all the vegetables thoroughly. Slice the bell pepper and zucchini uniformly, cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets, trim the snap peas, and julienne the carrot. This ensures even cooking and a visually appealing presentation.

    Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or wok, add the vegetable oil and heat it over medium-high heat. Allow the oil to become shimmering, but avoid letting it smoke.

      Sauté the Aromatics: Introduce the minced garlic and grated ginger into the hot oil. Sauté for approximately 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until the garlic becomes fragrant but not browned, which can impart a bitter flavor.

        Cook the Vegetables: Add the sliced bell pepper, zucchini, broccoli, snap peas, and julienned carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry the combination for about 5-7 minutes, continuously tossing the vegetables to ensure they cook evenly while maintaining a tender-crisp texture.

          Add the Teriyaki Sauce: Once the vegetables are vibrant and tender-crisp, pour the teriyaki sauce over the top. Toss the vegetables well to coat them evenly in the sauce. Allow it to heat for an additional 1-2 minutes, ensuring everything is piping hot.

            Season and Garnish: Taste the stir-fry and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to your preference. Finish with a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds and the sliced green onions on top for a burst of flavor and texture.

              Serve: Remove the skillet from heat. Serve the colorful stir-fry hot over a generous bed of warm cooked rice or noodles, making sure to let the vibrant medley of flavors shine through in every bite.
