Instructions:

- Add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil and let it heat up for about 1 minute.
3. Cook the Aromatics:
- Add the minced garlic and ginger to the pan.
- Sauté for about 30 seconds to 1 minute until they become fragrant, being careful not to let them burn.
4. Stir-Fry the Vegetables:
- Add the sliced onion to the pan and sauté for about 2 minutes until it begins to soften.
- Add the broccoli florets, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and asparagus pieces.
- Stir-fry everything together for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables reach your desired level of tenderness. Stir frequently to ensure even cooking.
5. Seasoning:

Tips:

- Cut all your vegetables to similar sizes to ensure even cooking.

- Preheat your pan and make sure it’s hot before adding sesame oil to achieve a perfect stir-fry texture.

- Do not overcook the vegetables; they should be tender-crisp to maintain their nutrients and freshness.

- Feel free to customize with other low-carb vegetables like zucchini or spinach.

- For extra protein, add tofu, chicken, or shrimp to the stir-fry.

- Prepare all ingredients before you start cooking, as stir-frying is a quick process and requires your full attention.
