With sweet potatoes, bell peppers, cabbage and broccoli, this quick and easy rainbow vegetable peanut stir-fry is full of flavor and crunch.
I’m a total control freak at the grocery. Sometimes I think I’m only person in the aisles picking out my own stuff as I pass by Instacart shoppers.
Does anyone else still look forward to that weekly errand?
I’ve had groceries delivered only a handful of times, and I just can’t take it.
I want to be the one choosing the best apples and making decisions about substitutions.
Last week we had a day of rain followed by a temperature plunge. When I tried to open the back door to our garage, I couldn’t get it to work. The lock was frozen.
With no way to get to the car, I ended up doing Lyft round trip to the grocery.
It felt kind of silly, but I had to get there. We live within walking distance of another store, but it’s not the place where I find everything I need.
The whole situation had me frazzled, so I wasn’t my usual focused self on my list. I ended up with lots of vegetables that I didn’t need.
Blame the blogging for my obsession with lists and meal planning! It’s not a bad thing every once and a while when things are more spontaneous.
I knew a stir-fry would be a great quick meal that would take care of all those vegetables at once.
The most time consuming step of any stir-fry is cutting and prepping.
I started by dusting off my spiralizer for the sweet potatoes. It had been ages since I used this gadget.
Then I sliced red cabbage and a red bell pepper. After that, it was onto transforming a head of broccoli into florets.
My stir-fry needed a sauce. I limited it to pantry ingredients: a mix of peanut butter, soy sauce, hoison and sesame oil.
With everything ready, I got cooking.
I started with the aromatics: garlic, ginger and scallions. Then I added the veggies. In minutes I was ready for the sauce. It was fragrant as it bubbled away.
Before serving this rainbow vegetable peanut stir-fry, I topped it with more scallions and roasted salted peanuts.
I kept my stir-fry simple with just veggies, but you could add a protein like tofu, chicken, shrimp or beef.
With sweet potatoes, bell peppers, cabbage and broccoli, this quick and easy rainbow vegetable peanut stir-fry is full of flavor and crunch.
