Ingredients
  

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 cup broccoli florets

1 red bell pepper, sliced thin

1 yellow bell pepper, sliced thin

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 (more for desired consistency)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Peanut Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), sesame oil, rice vinegar, and water until smooth. Adjust the water as needed for your desired consistency. Set aside.

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

      Sauté the Veggies: Add the minced garlic and ginger to the hot oil, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, add the broccoli, red and yellow bell peppers, snap peas, and carrots. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender yet still crisp.

        Add the Sauce: Pour the prepared peanut sauce over the stir-fried veggies. Toss everything together, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through and coat the vegetables evenly.

          Finish with Green Onions: Remove the stir-fry from heat and stir in the chopped green onions before serving.

            Serve: Serve the veggie stir-fry hot, with a sprinkle of chopped peanuts or sesame seeds on top if desired. Pair with rice or noodles for a complete meal!
