Instructions

1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
2. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, taking care not to burn the garlic.
3. Add the broccoli florets, sliced carrots, bell peppers, and snap peas to the skillet. Stir fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender and vibrant.
