Ingredients
  

2 ripe peaches, pitted and sliced

1 medium bell pepper (any color), thinly julienned

1 medium zucchini, sliced into half-moons

1 cup sugar snap peas, with ends trimmed

1 cup broccoli florets

1 medium red onion, thinly sliced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 inch fresh ginger, grated

3 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for a gluten-free option)

2 tablespoons sesame oil

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (use maple for a vegan dish)

1 tablespoon cornstarch combined with 2 tablespoons water (for thickening)

1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

Fresh basil or cilantro leaves, for garnish

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey (or maple syrup), and the cornstarch-water mixture. Whisk until fully blended and set this aside to let the flavors meld.

    Sauté Aromatics: Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once the skillet is hot, add a splash of sesame oil, then add the sliced red onion. Sauté for 1 minute, then incorporate the minced garlic and grated ginger. Continue sautéing for about 2 minutes until the mixture is fragrant and the onion is translucent.

      Add Veggies: Mix in the julienned bell pepper, sliced zucchini, and broccoli florets. Stir-fry these vegetables for 3-4 minutes, until they start to soften while still retaining a crunchy texture.

        Incorporate Peaches and Snap Peas: Add the sliced peaches and sugar snap peas to the skillet. Gently toss the mix together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the peaches begin to soften and warm through, releasing their sweet aroma.

          Sauce It Up: Pour the prepared sauce over the stir-fried veggies, continuously stirring to ensure that all ingredients are evenly coated. Cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and envelop the veggies in a shiny glaze.

            Season and Serve: Season the stir fry with salt and pepper to your preference. Remove from heat and finish by garnishing with sesame seeds and fresh basil or cilantro leaves, which will add a burst of freshness.

              Enjoy: Serve the Peachy Delight Veggie Stir Fry immediately, either on its own or over a bed of fluffy rice or quinoa for a satisfying and hearty meal.
