Ingredients
  

1 large ripe peach, pitted and sliced into wedges

1 medium bell pepper (any color), thinly sliced

1 cup snap peas, ends trimmed

1 medium carrot, julienned

1 cup broccoli florets

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced

2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for stir frying)

1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (optional for thickening)

Salt and pepper to taste

Sesame seeds for garnish

Chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare Your Ingredients: Wash and chop all the vegetables and slice the peach. Make sure to have everything ready before you start cooking to ensure a quick stir-fry process.

    Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

      Sauté Aromatics: Add the minced garlic and ginger to the hot oil. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant (be careful not to burn them).

        Add Harder Vegetables: Toss in the sliced bell pepper, carrot, and broccoli florets. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they start to soften but still have a nice crunch.

          Incorporate Snap Peas: Add the snap peas and continue to stir-fry for another 2 minutes, ensuring all vegetables are evenly mixed.

            Combine Peach & Sauces: Carefully add the peach wedges to the skillet. Pour in the soy sauce and honey (or maple syrup). Stir gently to combine the flavors without breaking the peach slices.

              Thicken (optional): If you prefer a thicker sauce, add in the cornstarch-water mixture now. Stir well, allowing the sauce to bubble and thicken for about 1 minute.

                Season: Taste and adjust with salt and pepper as needed. Keep in mind that the soy sauce adds saltiness, so adjust accordingly.

                  Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, and sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions over the top. Serve the stir-fry warm over cooked rice, quinoa, or noodles for a complete meal.
