2 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 tsp sugar
½ cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 tsp sesame oil

For the stir-fry

2 tbsp neutral oil (such as vegetable oil or canola oil), divided
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
Ingredient note
Fresh ginger can trigger interstitial cystitis symptoms in some people, but the small amount in this recipe (~3/4 tsp per serving) is likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid fresh ginger, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
1 medium red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 medium yellow bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 cups broccoli florets
1 cup snap peas, trimmed
3 green onions, sliced, white and green parts separated
Ingredient note
Interstitial cystitis flags onions because alliums can irritate a sensitive bladder, but this recipe uses only the milder scallion green tops, which is likely fine for most. If you prefer to always avoid scallions, please tap it and change its rating to Red.

For serving

1 tsp sesame seeds (optional)
