Ingredients You Will Need

Step-by-Step Preparation
Start by preparing all your ingredients. Wash and chop the vegetables, and ensure your seafood is cleaned and patted dry. This will make the cooking process smoother and faster.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the seafood to the wok. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the seafood turns opaque and is cooked through. Remove the seafood from the wok and set aside.
In the same wok, add the broccoli, bell pepper, and carrot. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
Return the cooked seafood to the wok. Pour in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Toss everything together to coat evenly and cook for another 2 minutes to blend the flavors.

Serve your seafood and vegetable stir-fry hot over steamed rice or noodles. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for added flavor and presentation. This dish pairs well with a light salad or spring rolls for a complete meal.
