Ingredients
  

1 cup broccoli florets

1 cup bell peppers (mixed colors), sliced

1 cup snap peas

1 medium carrot, julienned

1 small zucchini, sliced into half-moons

1 cup sliced mushrooms (shiitake or button)

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons fresh ginger, minced

3 tablespoons vegetable oil (or any cooking oil of choice)

½ cup teriyaki sauce (store-bought or homemade)

2 teaspoons sesame oil

2 tablespoons sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

4 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Cooked rice or noodles, for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Wash and chop all vegetables as indicated in the ingredients list. Having everything ready will make cooking quicker and more enjoyable.

    Heat the Oil: In a large wok or skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

      Sauté Aromatics: Add minced garlic and ginger to the hot oil, stirring constantly for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn them!

        Add Harder Vegetables First: Toss in the broccoli and carrot first, stirring continuously for about 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften.

          Introduce Other Vegetables: Add the bell peppers, snap peas, zucchini, and mushrooms. Stir-fry for an additional 4-5 minutes until all vegetables are tender-crisp.

            Incorporate Teriyaki Sauce: Pour the teriyaki sauce over the vegetable mixture, stirring well to coat all the veggies evenly. Let it simmer for about 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

              Finish with Sesame Oil: Drizzle in the sesame oil, stirring to combine. This adds a delicious nutty flavor to the dish.

                Serve: Remove the stir-fry from heat and transfer to serving plates. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions for a pop of color and flavor.

                  Enjoy: Serve your savory vegetable stir-fry over a bed of hot cooked rice or noodles, and enjoy the delightful medley of flavors!
