Vegetable Stir Fry with Peanut Sauce 🥦🥦🥦

Instructions

1. Prepare the Peanut Sauce:
   In a small bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, maple syrup, sesame oil, sriracha (if using), and minced garlic. Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the sauce reaches a smooth, pourable consistency. Set aside.
2. Cook the Vegetables:
   • Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil.
   • Once hot, add the minced garlic and ginger, stirring for 30 seconds until fragrant.
   • Add the broccoli, carrots, and snap peas first (as they take longer to cook). Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes.
   • Add the bell peppers, zucchini, and any protein (if using). Stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp and the protein is cooked through.
3. Combine with Sauce:
   • Reduce the heat to low and pour the peanut sauce over the stir-fried vegetables. Toss everything together until evenly coated and heated through.
4. Serve:
   • Serve the stir fry over cooked rice. Garnish with sesame seeds, green onions, or cilantro.
5. Enjoy!
   • Serve immediately and enjoy this delicious, nutrient-packed meal!

Tips:

• Customize the veggies: Use whatever you have on hand, like mushrooms, cabbage, or baby corn.
• Make it spicy: Add extra sriracha or red pepper flakes to the sauce.
• Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or microwave.
