Ingredients
  

4 cups green cabbage, thinly sliced

1 cup red cabbage, thinly sliced

1 cup carrots, julienned

1 bell pepper (any color), thinly sliced

1 cup snap peas, trimmed

1/2 cup green onions, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon ginger, grated

3 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

2 teaspoons honey (or maple syrup for vegan)

1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Salt and pepper to taste

Cooked quinoa or rice, for serving

Fresh cilantro or parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Vegetables: Wash and slice all the vegetables as indicated. Place them in separate bowls for easy access.

    Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey (or maple syrup), and a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.

      Heat the Pan: In a large wok or non-stick skillet, heat a splash of oil over medium-high heat.

        Cook Aromatics: Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the hot pan. Sauté for about 30 seconds or until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.

          Add Veggies: Toss in the green cabbage, red cabbage, carrots, bell pepper, and snap peas. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes, or until the veggies are just tender yet still crunchy.

            Combine with Sauce: Pour the prepared sauce over the cooked vegetables and toss well to combine. Let it cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

              Finish and Serve: Once everything is heated through, remove from heat and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve over a bed of cooked quinoa or rice and garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley if desired.
