Cooking Method

1. Prepare the Ingredients: Start by preparing all your vegetables. Slice the onion, mince the garlic, slice the red bell pepper, julienne the carrot, and cut the broccoli into florets.

2. 

   Cook the Eggs: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the beaten eggs and scramble until cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

3. Stir-Fry the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Sauté the onion and garlic until fragrant and translucent. Add the bell pepper, broccoli, carrot, and snap peas. Stir-fry for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

4. 

   Add Flavor: Reduce the heat and stir in the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and grated ginger. Return the scrambled eggs to the skillet, tossing everything together until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

5. Serve: Divide the stir-fry into bowls. Garnish with sesame seeds, sliced green onions, and fresh cilantro leaves. Enjoy!
