Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften and brighten in colour.<\/li>\n<li>Introduce the sliced red bell pepper and red onion to the pan. Continue to stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until all vegetables are tender-crisp.<\/li>\n<li>Push the vegetables to one side of the pan. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the empty space and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.<\/li>\n<li>In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, cornflour, and water or vegetable stock until smooth.<\/li>\n<li>Pour the sauce over the vegetables, stirring constantly to coat everything. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy.<\/li>\n<li>Serve immediately.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Cooking Notes<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>To save time, pre-cut stir-fry vegetable mixes from the supermarket can be used. Adjust cooking times as necessary for different vegetables.<\/li>\n<li>Ensure the pan is very hot before adding vegetables; this helps achieve a good sear rather than steaming.<\/li>\n<li>For an extra layer of flavour, consider adding a handful of sliced mushrooms or sugar snap peas alongside the bell pepper.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Serving &amp; Storage<\/h2>\n<p>Serve this vegetable stir fry hot, perhaps alongside some steamed brown rice or noodles for a complete meal. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a pan or microwave, adding a splash of water if needed to loosen the sauce.<\/p>\n<h2>Nutrition<\/h2>\n<p>This recipe provides a good source of vitamins and fibre.
