✓ 1 cup Bell Peppers (Use a mix of colors for a visually stunning presentation.)
✓ 1 cup Snap Peas (Offer a delightful snap and are rich in vitamins.)
✓ 3 tablespoons Soy Sauce (Provides a savory umami depth.)
✓ 3 cloves Garlic (Fresh minced garlic enhances the flavor profile.)
✓ 1 tablespoon Ginger (Fresh ginger adds warmth and spiciness.)
✓ 2 tablespoons Olive or Vegetable Oil (Essential for stir-frying.)
