Ingredients
  

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 cup broccoli florets

1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced

1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced

1 cup snap peas, ends trimmed

1 medium carrot, julienned

2 green onions, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced

For the Peanut Sauce:

3 tablespoons creamy peanut butter

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 tablespoon water (plus more for desired consistency)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Peanut Sauce: In a small mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), sesame oil, rice vinegar, and 1 tablespoon of water. Whisk together until smooth and creamy. If the sauce is too thick for your liking, gradually add more water, a teaspoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency. Set the sauce aside.

    Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or wok, add the vegetable oil and heat over medium-high heat until shimmering.

      Sauté the Veggies: Add the minced garlic and ginger to the hot oil. Sauté for about 30 seconds, stirring frequently, until they become fragrant. Then, add the broccoli florets, sliced red and yellow bell peppers, snap peas, and julienned carrot. Stir-fry these vegetables for 5-7 minutes, allowing them to cook through while retaining a slight crunch.

        Add the Sauce: Once the vegetables are cooked to your liking, pour in the prepared peanut sauce. Toss everything together, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated and heated through.

          Finish with Green Onions: Remove the stir-fry from the heat and stir in the chopped green onions, mixing gently to incorporate them.

            Serve: Serve the veggie stir-fry hot on plates or in bowls. For an extra touch, sprinkle with chopped peanuts or sesame seeds on top if desired. Pair the stir-fry with cooked rice or noodles for a well-rounded meal!
