Ingredients
  

1 cup jasmine rice

2 cups water

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1 cup bell peppers, sliced (mix of red, yellow, and green)

1 cup broccoli florets

1 cup snap peas, trimmed

1 medium carrot, peeled and thinly sliced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced

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

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional for a touch of sweetness)

2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)

1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Rice: In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of jasmine rice with 2 cups of water. Bring to a vigorous boil, then reduce the heat to low, covering the pot with a lid. Let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and all the water has been absorbed. Once cooked, fluff the rice gently with a fork and keep it covered to keep warm.

    Sauté Veggies: In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for approximately 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until they release their fragrant aroma.

      Add the Vegetables: Introduce the sliced bell peppers, broccoli florets, snap peas, and thinly sliced carrots to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for 5-7 minutes, ensuring they retain their crunch and vibrant color.

        Create the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, sesame oil, and honey or maple syrup if you choose to add a hint of sweetness. Pour the sauce over the sautéed vegetables, tossing well to coat everything evenly. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld while seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

          Serve: In serving bowls, spoon a generous amount of the fluffy jasmine rice and top it with the colorful veggie stir-fry. Garnish with the chopped green onions and a light sprinkle of sesame seeds for added crunch and aesthetic appeal.

            Enjoy: Serve the dish immediately while it's hot, and enjoy the delightful blend of flavors and textures in this refreshing stir-fry!
