8 ounces

Instructions

1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering.
2. Add the minced garlic and ginger, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to let them burn.
3. Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook for approximately 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and begin to brown beautifully.
4. Introduce the broccoli florets and sliced red bell pepper to the skillet. Continue to stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
5. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce and sesame oil to create a flavorful sauce.
6. Pour the sauce over the sautéed vegetables, tossing to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and clings to the veggies.
7. Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting according to your preference.
8. Garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
9. Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles for a complete and satisfying meal.
