Ingredients for Asian Vegetable Stir Fry with Peanut Sauce

Vegetables:

You can use your own selection of vegetables. My favorites are broccoli, red bell pepper, carrots, napa cabbage and/or onions.

To make this recipe even more convenient, you can use ready-to-use Asian vegetable blend. I like the one from Trader Joe’s. It is freshly packed in a bowl in the refrigerated section.

Moreover, you can use frozen vegetable blends. I like the frozen Asian vegetable blends.

Peanut Sauce:

peanut butter: For the best result for this recipe, use smooth, unsweetened peanut butter. I like the organic smooth peanut butter at trader joes that does not have additional salt or sugar. It is also not super thick which could make it hard to stir as a sauce.

coconut aminos: This is a great way to keep the sauce soy free while keeping the dish a bit less salty!

chopped ginger, garlic– Using fresh ingredients like ginger and garlic really help to give this sauce some great flavor and boost the aromatics.

rice vinegar-Provides a tangy and acidic flavor and is so important to balance out the flavors.

sesame oil– Just a little bit is enough to add a complex nutty flavor!

honey– This helps to add an extra level of sweetness to the sauce without being overpowering
