In a small bowl, mix together the minced ginger, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes. Rub this spicy mixture evenly on both sides of the tilapia fillets.

Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, gently lay the tilapia fillets in the pan and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and keep warm.

In the same skillet, add a little more oil if needed. Toss in the broccoli, bell peppers, and snap peas, stir-frying for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender but still crisp.

Add the rice vinegar and sesame oil to the vegetables and toss to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
