instructions
    1

    Start by preparing your vegetables. Slice the bell peppers and zucchini into thin strips, chop the carrot into thin rounds, and dice the onion.

    2

    Mince the garlic cloves as well.

    3

    In a large pan over medium heat, add the olive oil. Let it warm up for about 1 minute.

    4

    Once the oil is hot, add the diced onions and cook for about 3 minutes until they turn translucent.

    5

    Next, add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.

    6

    Now, add the sliced bell peppers, zucchini, and carrot to the pan. Stir everything well.

    7

    Cook the vegetables for about 8-10 minutes until they are tender but still slightly crisp.

    8

    Pour the soy sauce over the sautéed vegetables, followed by the salt and pepper. Stir to combine.

    9

    Cook for an additional 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

    10

    Remove from heat and serve warm as a side dish or over rice for a complete meal.
