Heat a wok or large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons vegetable oil.

Increase heat to medium-high and add 2 tablespoons sesame oil to the same pan.

Once hot, add 1 1/2 cups frozen peas and carrots. Sauté for about 2 minutes, until heated through.

Add 2 tablespoons minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
