Ingredients
  

2 cups mixed bell peppers (red, yellow, green), sliced into thin strips

1 cup broccoli florets, cut into bite-sized pieces

1 cup snap peas, ends trimmed

1 medium carrot, julienned (cut into matchsticks)

1 small zucchini, sliced into half-moons

1 cup baby corn, halved

3 cloves garlic, minced

1-inch piece of ginger, grated

2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or substitute with sesame oil for enhanced flavor)

4 tablespoons soy sauce

2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, to achieve a thicker sauce)

¼ cup water (to mix with cornstarch, if using)

Sesame seeds, for garnish

Chopped green onions, for garnish

Cooked rice or noodles, to serve

Instructions
 

Prep the Vegetables: Thoroughly wash all the fresh vegetables. Slice the mixed bell peppers into thin strips, cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets, trim the snap peas, julienne the carrot, slice the zucchini, and halve the baby corn. Having all your ingredients prepped and ready to go will help keep the cooking process smooth, as stir-frying happens quickly.

    Make Teriyaki Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, rice vinegar, and cornstarch (if you prefer a thicker sauce). Whisk these ingredients together until smooth and well-integrated, then set the mixture aside for later use.

      Heat Oil: In a large non-stick skillet or wok, pour in the vegetable oil and heat over medium-high heat. Wait until the oil becomes hot and shimmers to indicate it's ready for cooking.

        Stir-Fry the Aromatics: Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the hot pan. Stir them continuously for about 30 seconds or until you can smell their fragrant aroma, being careful not to let them burn.

          Stir-Fry the Veggies: Incorporate the sliced bell peppers, broccoli florets, snap peas, julienned carrots, zucchini half-moons, and halved baby corn into the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for approximately 5-7 minutes, or until they become tender-crisp. Maintain high heat and keep stirring to ensure even cooking.

            Add Sauce: Pour the prepared teriyaki sauce mixture over the stir-fried veggies. If you included cornstarch in the sauce, give it a good stir to mix everything well, and add ¼ cup of water if you prefer a thinner consistency. Let the mixture simmer for about 2-3 minutes while stirring continuously, allowing it to thicken up beautifully.

              Garnish & Serve: Once the sauce has reached your desired consistency, remove the pan from heat. Generously sprinkle the stir-fry with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for a fresh finish. Serve immediately over bowls of warm cooked rice or noodles for a delightful meal.
