Instructions
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until shimmering.
- Add the minced garlic and ginger to the hot oil and stir-fry for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.
- Introduce the shrimp, scallops, and squid to the wok, stir-frying for 2-3 minutes until the seafood is cooked through and opaque. Remove from the wok and set aside.
- In the same wok, add the sliced bell peppers, broccoli florets, and carrots. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, ensuring the vegetables are crisp-tender and vibrant.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, and sesame oil to create the stir-fry sauce.
- Pour the sauce over the sautéed vegetables in the wok, stirring to coat them evenly.
- Return the cooked seafood back to the wok, tossing everything together to ensure that the flavors meld and the dish is heated through, about 1-2 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting as necessary.
- Garnish with chopped green onions before serving hot.
Tips
- For a spicier version, add sliced red chili or a dash of chili sauce to the stir-fry.
- Feel free to substitute the seafood with your favorite protein, such as chicken or tofu, while keeping the same vegetable combination.
- To enhance the dish further, consider adding a squeeze of fresh lime juice just before serving.
