Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
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.
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.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and swirl to coat the pan.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
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.
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.
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions, roasted peanuts, and sesame seeds if desired.
Serve hot over cooked rice or noodles and enjoy!
