Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, minced
- 3 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
- 1.5 tablespoons Peanut butter (natural, unsweetened)
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
- 4 cups Mixed vegetables (e.g., broccoli, bell peppers, snap peas, carrots), chopped
- 2 Green onions (scallions), sliced
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, peanut butter, honey, rice vinegar, and crushed red pepper flakes until smooth. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
Add the mixed vegetables to the skillet. Stir-fry for 5–7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Pour the peanut sauce over the vegetables and add 2 tablespoons of water to help thin the sauce. Toss everything together to coat evenly.
Cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce is heated through and the vegetables are fully coated.
Remove from heat and sprinkle with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if using.
Serve immediately as is, or over a small portion of cooked brown rice or quinoa if desired (adjust points accordingly).
