Ginger Veggie Stir-Fry so healthy

This vegetable stir-fry is something I whipped up one day when I felt like a stir-fry but did not have all the ingredients called for in some of the stir-fry recipes on this site. I used certain vegetables I had on hand, but any seasonal veggies may be used. It has a mild ginger flavor that can be enhanced according to taste, and is filling yet light on the tummy! Tofu may be added. Serve over a bed of steamed jasmine rice.

Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided

• 2 teaspoons chopped fresh ginger root, divided

• 1 ½ cloves garlic, crushed

• 1 tablespoon cornstarch

• 1 small head broccoli, cut into florets

• ¾ cup julienned carrots

• ½ cup snow peas

• ½ cup halved green beans

• 2 ½ tablespoons water

• 2 tablespoons soy sauce

• ¼ cup chopped onion

• ½ tablespoon salt

Silly me, I should've phrased my question better. I don't understand what the purpose of a thickener is in a stir-fry. The vegetables can just as well be tossed in the oil & ginger & garlic mix?
