  • 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup of mixed vegetables (carrots, bell peppers, cabbage, and bean sprouts)

  3. Add the minced garlic and sliced onion to the skillet. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Add the mixed vegetables to the skillet and stir-fry for an additional 2-3 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
