Creating your delicious Spring Vegetable Stir Fry is a breeze if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare Vegetables: Wash and slice all vegetables as indicated in the ingredient list.
2. Heat Oil: In a large wok or skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
3. Stir-fry Aromatics: Add the minced garlic and ginger to the pan. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
4. Add Hard Vegetables: Toss in the carrots and broccoli first since they take longer to cook. Stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes.

6. Add Sauce: Pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil, stirring well to combine with the vegetables.
7. Thicken Sauce: Gradually add the cornstarch mixture while stirring. This will help the sauce thicken and coat the vegetables beautifully.
