- Heat vegetable oil in a large wok or wide skillet over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn.
- Add carrots first and stir-fry for 2 minutes, then add bell peppers and broccoli. Continue cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender but retain their vibrant colors.

Tips

- High Heat Magic: Use a wok or wide skillet and keep the heat high to achieve that perfect stir-fry sear and prevent soggy vegetables.
- Noodle Know-How: Rinse mung bean noodles in cold water after cooking to stop the cooking process and prevent clumping.
- Flavor Layering: Add garlic first to infuse the oil with aromatic flavor, then build your vegetable layers strategically.
- Don't Overcook: Aim for crisp-tender vegetables that retain their bright colors and nutritional value.
