Broccoli and Peanut Stir Fry

Ingredients

• Cooking oil (2 tablespoons)
• Salt (1/2 teaspoon (adjust to taste))
• Red pepper flakes (1 teaspoon (adjust for spice preference))
• Honey (1 tablespoon)
• Sesame oil (1 tablespoon)
• Soy sauce (3 tablespoons)
• Fresh ginger (1 tablespoon, grated)
• Garlic (3 cloves, minced)
• Peanuts (1/2 cup, roasted and unsalted)
• Broccoli (4 cups, cut into florets)

Instructions

1. Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering.
2. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet, sautéing for 1-2 minutes while stirring constantly until fragrant but not burnt.
3. Toss in the broccoli florets and stir fry for 3-4 minutes, ensuring they remain bright green and slightly tender but still crisp.
4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, red pepper flakes, and salt until well combined to form a sauce.
5. Pour the sauce mixture over the broccoli in the skillet and toss to evenly coat all the florets.
6. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly and the broccoli is cooked to your desired level of tenderness.
7. Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the roasted peanuts over the stir fry just before serving for an added crunch.
8. Serve hot over steamed rice or quinoa for a complete meal, and enjoy the delightful combination of textures and flavors!
