This broccoli, mushroom, and bell pepper stir-fry combines crisp-tender vegetables with garlic, soy sauce, and a sesame-seed finish. Broccoli goes into the pan first, followed by mushrooms and sliced pepper, while the garlic is added near the end so it does not spend the whole cooking time over the heat.
Cut the broccoli into small, evenly sized florets and have all the ingredients ready before starting. The vegetables cook quickly, so their texture is a better guide than the clock alone. Serve hot as a vegetable side dish alongside rice, noodles, or another main course.
