Ingredients
  

1 tablespoon sesame oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 inch ginger, grated

1 red bell pepper, sliced

1 cup broccoli florets

1 cup snap peas

1 medium carrot, julienned

1 cup baby spinach

2 tablespoons soy sauce (low-sodium)

1 tablespoon hoisin sauce

1 teaspoon rice vinegar

1 teaspoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

Cooked jasmine or brown rice (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Rice: If you haven't already, cook your jasmine or brown rice according to package instructions so it’s ready for serving.

    Heat the Wok: In a large wok or skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat.

      Sauté Aromatics: Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the hot oil, sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

        Add Vegetables: Toss in the sliced red bell pepper, broccoli florets, snap peas, and julienned carrot. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are bright and tender-crisp.

          Incorporate Spinach: Add the baby spinach to the pan and stir until it wilts, about 1-2 minutes.

            Sauce It Up: Pour the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and rice vinegar over the stir-fried vegetables. Toss everything to ensure the veggies are evenly coated with the sauce. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

              Plate and Garnish: Serve the stir-fry over the cooked rice, and sprinkle with sesame seeds for extra crunch.

                Enjoy: Serve hot, and enjoy your nutritious weeknight meal!
