Instructions

1
Prepare the vegetables by peeling the carrots and cutting them into thin strips. Chop the green peppers into similar-sized strips. Slice the onion and mince the garlic and ginger.
2
In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, sugar, rice vinegar, and ground black pepper until the sugar is dissolved. Set this teriyaki-style sauce aside.
3
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add a splash of oil. Once hot, add the minced garlic and ginger, stir-frying for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
4
Add the sliced onions to the skillet and sauté them for about 2 minutes until slightly translucent.
5
Incorporate the carrot and green pepper strips into the skillet, stir-frying for another 5-7 minutes until they are tender but still crisp.
6
Pour the teriyaki-style sauce over the vegetables, tossing to coat everything evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly.
7
Serve the stir-fry hot, garnished with toasted sesame seeds if desired.
