    Begin by preparing all your vegetables. Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets, slice the carrot thinly, dice the bell pepper, and trim the snow peas.

    2

    Mince the garlic and set it aside.

    3

    Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat, around 2 minutes until shimmering.

    4

    Add the minced garlic to the pan and stir-fry for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant.

    5

    Next, add in the broccoli and carrots. Stir-fry for about 3 minutes, allowing them to start becoming tender.

    6

    Incorporate the bell pepper and snow peas into the skillet, continuing to stir-fry for an additional 2-3 minutes until all vegetables are vibrant in color and crisp-tender.

    7

    Pour the soy sauce and sesame oil over the vegetables and sprinkle with salt. Stir well for 1 minute to ensure everything is coated and heated through.

    8

    Remove from heat and serve immediately, enjoying it as a side dish or over rice.
