  3. Add all sauce ingredients into a bowl and whisk (paid link) together. Set this to the side.
  4. Slice the red bell pepper into strips and cook along with broccoli on high heat in 1/2 cup water for 3 minutes. Add snow peas to cooking pan and continue cooking vegetables for an additional 5 minutes. Remove from pan and drain when done.

Notes

Hoisin also referred to as “Peking sauce”, is a rich, reddish-brown sauce with a sweet, tangy flavor. Oyster sauce is not as sweet as hoisin sauce but offers an umami flavor from its shellfish base.
