Ingredients
  

2 ripe peaches, pitted and sliced into wedges

1 red bell pepper, sliced into thin strips

1 cup broccoli florets, cut into bite-sized pieces

1 medium zucchini, cut into half-moons

1 cup snap peas, trimmed at the ends

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 inch piece of ginger, grated

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

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup for sweetness

1 teaspoon sesame oil for added flavor

1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (optional for a thicker sauce)

Salt and pepper to taste

Toasted sesame seeds for garnish

Fresh basil or cilantro, chopped (optional for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Vegetables: Begin by washing all the fresh produce. Slice the peaches into wedges, slice the red bell pepper into thin strips, and cut the zucchini into half-moons. Trim the ends of the snap peas and separate the broccoli into smaller florets.

    Heat the Cooking Oil: In a large skillet or wok, pour in the olive oil and heat it over medium-high heat. Wait until the oil shimmers, indicating it’s hot enough for cooking.

      Sauté the Aromatics: Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and freshly grated ginger to the pan. Stir-fry these aromatics for about 30 seconds, or until they become fragrant and slightly golden. Be sure to keep an eye on them to prevent burning.

        Add the Vegetables: Immediately add the sliced bell pepper, broccoli florets, zucchini half-moons, and snap peas into the pan. Stir-fry for approximately 4-5 minutes, allowing the vegetables to become vibrant in color and tender-crisp in texture.

          Incorporate the Peaches: Gently fold in the peach wedges along with the soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), and sesame oil. Continue to cook this mixture for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the peaches to warm up and slightly soften, releasing their juices.

            Thicken the Sauce (Optional): If you prefer a thicker sauce, stir in the cornstarch mixture. Mix well and cook for an additional minute, until the sauce coats the vegetables beautifully.

              Season to Perfection: Taste the stir fry and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to suit your preference.

                Garnish & Serve: Remove the skillet from heat. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over the stir fry and garnish with chopped fresh basil or cilantro if desired. Serve immediately over steamed rice, fluffy quinoa, or your favorite noodles for a delightful meal.
