Ingredients

• 4 cups broccoli florets
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 1 large carrot
• 3 stalks green onion
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 inch piece ginger
• 4 cups cooked rice or noodles
• 0.25 cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)
• 1 teaspoon sriracha (optional)
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 0.25 cup roasted peanuts (for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and prepare the vegetables. Cut the broccoli into small, bite-sized florets, slice the red bell pepper into thin strips, peel and julienne the carrot, finely chop the green onions, mince the garlic, and grate the ginger.

Step 2

In a small bowl, prepare the peanut sauce by whisking together the peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, maple syrup, sriracha (if using), and water until smooth. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and swirl to coat the pan.

Step 4

Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the broccoli florets, sliced bell pepper, and julienned carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to medium, then pour the prepared peanut sauce over the vegetables. Toss to coat evenly and let cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and clings to the vegetables.

Step 7

Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions, roasted peanuts, and sesame seeds if desired.

Step 8

Serve hot over cooked rice or noodles and enjoy!
