Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces firm apples (e.g., Fuji or Granny Smith), thinly sliced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 piece red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 piece carrot, julienned
- 1 cup snap peas
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (for a vegan option)
- 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons neutral oil (e.g., vegetable or avocado oil)
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)
- 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced (for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare all your ingredients by thinly slicing the apples, red bell pepper, and julienning the carrot. Mince the garlic and ginger and set them aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey or maple syrup, rice vinegar, cornstarch, and water. Set this sauce mixture aside.
Heat the neutral oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and ginger to the hot pan and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the broccoli, red bell pepper, carrot, and snap peas to the pan. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
Add the sliced apples to the pan and stir-fry for an additional 1-2 minutes, just until the apples are slightly softened.
Pour the prepared sauce over the vegetables and apples. Stir well to coat everything evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.
Remove the pan from the heat and drizzle sesame oil over the stir fry. Mix gently to combine.
Transfer the stir fry to a serving dish and garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
Serve hot with steamed rice, quinoa, or noodles for a complete meal.
