Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once shimmering, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30-45 seconds until fragrant. Be careful not to let it brown or burn.
Add the sliced carrots and broccoli florets to the skillet. These are the hardest vegetables and need a head start. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until they begin to brighten in color and become slightly tender.
Carefully pour the water into the hot skillet—it will sizzle and create steam. Immediately cover with a tight-fitting lid and let the vegetables steam for 2 minutes. This step helps cook the carrots and broccoli to a perfect crisp-tender texture without overcooking.
Uncover the skillet. Add the sliced red bell pepper and snap peas. Continue to sauté, stirring constantly, for another 2-3 minutes. The vegetables should be vibrant, glossy, and still have a slight bite.
Remove the skillet from the heat. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Drizzle with the fresh lemon juice and toss everything together to combine. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
