2. Add the minced garlic and ginger, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until they are fragrant and slightly golden.
3. Add the cauliflower florets, carrots, bell peppers, broccoli, and snow peas to the skillet. Stir fry these for 5-6 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper to create the savory sauce.
