This recipe allows you to experiment with various combinations, making it an excellent way to use up any veggies in your fridge.

- Steamed rice or noodles for serving (optional)

Please note that the specific amounts of each ingredient will depend on the number of servings and your personal taste preferences. Feel free to adjust the quantities accordingly.

To enhance the flavors and textures of your veg stir-fry, it's essential to include a few key ingredients:

1. Garlic and Ginger - Aromatic garlic and ginger are the foundation of many Asian-inspired dishes, including stir-fries. Their delicate flavors add a zing to your recipe, creating a perfect balance with the vegetables.

2. Soy Sauce - This umami-rich sauce adds a depth of flavor to your stir-fry. Opt for low-sodium varieties to keep it healthy.

3. Sesame Oil- Just a drizzle of sesame oil can take your stir-fry to another level. Its distinct flavor lends a delightful nuttiness and aroma to your dish.

 Cooking up a Storm:

Now that you have your ingredients ready, it's time to whip up your veg stir-fry:

1. Preparation: Start by washing and chopping your vegetables into bite-sized pieces. This step ensures even cooking and easy eating.

2. Heat the Pan: Take a large pan or wok and heat it over medium-high heat. Once hot, add a tablespoon of oil, preferably a high-smoke-point oil like canola or peanut oil.

3. Infusing Flavor: Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the hot oil, giving it a quick stir until fragrant. Be careful not to burn them!

4. Vibrant Vegetables: Begin adding the vegetables that take longer to cook, such as carrots or bell peppers, stirring them for a couple of minutes until they start to soften.

5. Finishing Touches: Now, add the remaining vegetables, like broccoli or snow peas. Stir-fry for another few minutes until all the vegetables are tender yet still retain their vibrant colors and a bit of crunch.

6. Sauce it Up: Pour in a mixture of soy sauce and a touch of sesame oil, coating the vegetables evenly. Toss the veggies gently to ensure every piece absorbs the flavors.

7. Ready to Serve:Remove the pan from the heat, and your veg stir-fry is ready to be devoured. Serve it over a bed of steamed rice or noodles for a satisfying and complete meal.
