Instructions:

Prepare the Vegetables: Wash and chop the asparagus, broccoli, zucchini, bell pepper, and snow peas into bite-sized pieces, ensuring uniformity for even cooking.
-
Stir-Fry: Heat avocado oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the asparagus, broccoli, zucchini, bell pepper, and snow peas to the pan. Stir-fry the vegetables for 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp.
-
Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce (or tamari for a gluten-free option) and sesame oil. Pour the sauce over the vegetables and toss to coat evenly. Continue stir-frying for an additional 2-3 minutes.
-
Season and Garnish: Season the stir-fry with salt and pepper to taste. If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions over the dish for added flavor and visual appeal.

Serve: Once the vegetables are cooked to your liking, remove the stir-fry from the heat. Serve the Keto Spring Veggie Stir-Fry on its own or over cauliflower rice for a complete low-carb meal.
