Instructions
Gather all the ingredients.
Slice the onions, carrots, bell pepper, and shiitake mushrooms.
In a skillet, add the Japanese sake and let it boil for 15-20 seconds.
In a separate bowl, mix the boiled sake with soy sauce, sweetener, salt, and black pepper to create the stir-fry sauce.
Heat the cooking oil in a large wok. Once hot, add the sliced garlic and cook for 20-30 seconds until fragrant.
Next, add the sliced onions, carrots, and bell peppers. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften.
Add the shiitake mushrooms, snap peas, and bean sprouts to the wok. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, until all the vegetables are tender to your liking.
Pour the stir-fry sauce over the vegetables, toss everything to coat, and transfer to a serving plate. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve.
