Step-By-Step

1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by washing, peeling, and chopping your vegetables. Depending on their density, you may want to cut them into thin strips, bite-sized pieces, or leave them whole if they’re small. If you’re using protein, ensure it’s cut into uniform pieces as well.

2. Heat the Pan: Place a wok or a large, deep skillet over high heat. Add a bit of vegetable oil and allow it to get hot, but not smoking.

3. Sauté the Aromatics: Stir in minced garlic and ginger. Let them sizzle for a few seconds until they release their delightful aroma.

4. Sear the Vegetables: In the same pan, add a bit more oil if needed. Start with the densest vegetables (like carrots and broccoli) and stir-fry them for a couple of minutes. Gradually add the remaining vegetables, allowing each to retain its crunch and vibrant color. This step is where your stir-fry becomes a canvas of beautiful hues.

5. Create the Sauce: Whisk together soy sauce or tamari, a drizzle of sesame oil, and a touch of honey or brown sugar (if you prefer a hint of sweetness). Pour this sauce over the seared vegetables and stir-fry for a couple of minutes to let the flavors meld.

6. Combine and Garnish: Reintroduce the cooked protein to the pan, gently toss everything together to ensure an even distribution of flavors. Garnish your veggie-packed stir-fry with sesame seeds or chopped green onions for a visual and flavorful flourish.

7. Serve: Your vibrant and veggie-packed stir-fry is now ready to be served. Spoon it over a bed of cooked rice or noodles, and savor the stunning blend of colors and flavors.
