Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 nectarines
- 250 grams snow peas
- 1 red bell pepper
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1.5 tablespoons honey
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- 2 scallions (green onions)
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Wash and dry the nectarines, snow peas, and red bell pepper.
Slice the nectarines into thin wedges (remove the pit).
Trim the ends of the snow peas and set aside.
Deseed the red bell pepper and slice it into thin strips.
Peel and mince the garlic and ginger.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water to form a sauce. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and ginger to the pan and sauté for about 30 seconds, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
Add the snow peas and red bell pepper to the pan. Stir fry for 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are bright and tender-crisp.
Add the nectarine slices and cook for another 1-2 minutes, just until warmed through.
Pour the prepared sauce over the stir fry and toss to coat evenly. Allow the sauce to thicken slightly, about 1 minute.
Remove the pan from heat and sprinkle the stir fry with toasted sesame seeds and thinly sliced scallions.
Serve immediately over rice, quinoa, or noodles, or enjoy on its own as a light, flavorful dish.
