2.In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, cornstarch, and water to create the zesty sauce. Stir until the cornstarch is fully dissolved.

3.Heat a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of oil if desired.

4.Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the hot wok, stirring quickly for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

5.Add the broccoli, carrots, and bell peppers to the wok. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.

6.Next, add the snap peas, zucchini, and mushrooms to the wok. Continue to stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until all vegetables are tender-crisp.

7.Pour the zesty sauce over the stir-fried vegetables, stirring well to coat everything evenly. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

8.Remove from heat and sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions on top for garnish.

9.Serve immediately, either on its own or over a bed of rice or noodles.
