Ingredients
  

1 cup broccoli florets, chopped into bite-sized pieces

1 cup bell peppers, mixed colors, sliced into thin strips

1 cup snap peas, trimmed and ends removed

1 medium carrot, peeled and julienned

1 small zucchini, sliced into half-moons

1 cup sliced mushrooms (shiitake or button work well)

4 cloves garlic, finely minced

2 tablespoons fresh ginger, finely minced

3 tablespoons vegetable oil (or any preferred cooking oil)

½ cup teriyaki sauce (store-bought or homemade)

2 teaspoons sesame oil for flavor

2 tablespoons sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

4 green onions, thinly sliced (for garnish)

Cooked rice or noodles, for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by washing and chopping all the vegetables according to the ingredient list. This preparation will streamline the cooking process and create a more enjoyable cooking experience.

    Heat the Oil: In a large wok or skillet, pour in the vegetable oil and heat over medium-high heat until it shimmers slightly, indicating it’s hot enough for cooking.

      Sauté Aromatics: Add the minced garlic and ginger to the hot oil, stirring constantly for about 30 seconds until they release their fragrance. Watch closely to avoid burning!

        Add Harder Vegetables First: Start by adding the broccoli florets and julienned carrot. Stir-fry them for about 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften but retain a bit of crunch.

          Introduce Other Vegetables: Next, add the sliced bell peppers, snap peas, zucchini, and mushrooms to the mix. Continue stir-frying for an additional 4-5 minutes until all vegetables are tender-crisp and vibrantly colorful.

            Incorporate Teriyaki Sauce: Pour the teriyaki sauce over the vegetable medley, stirring well to ensure all the veggies are evenly coated. Allow it to simmer for 1-2 minutes to let the sauce thicken slightly.

              Finish with Sesame Oil: Drizzle the sesame oil into the stir-fry, mixing it in thoroughly. This adds a nutty depth of flavor that enhances the dish.

                Serve: Once fully cooked, remove the stir-fry from the heat and transfer it to serving plates. Garnish with sesame seeds and a sprinkle of sliced green onions for an extra burst of flavor and color.

                  Enjoy: Serve your vibrant teriyaki vegetable stir-fry over a warm bed of rice or noodles, and delight in the exceptional medley of flavors and textures!
