Ingredients
  

2 ripe peaches, sliced

1 bell pepper (red or yellow), julienned

1 medium zucchini, sliced into half-moons

1 cup snap peas, trimmed

1 small red onion, thinly sliced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

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

1 tablespoon hoisin sauce

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup

1 tablespoon vegetable oil (or sesame oil for added flavor)

1 teaspoon chili flakes (adjust to taste)

Fresh basil or cilantro, for garnish

Cooked rice or quinoa, for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Rinse and slice the peaches, bell pepper, zucchini, snap peas, and onion. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger to have all ingredients ready to go.

    Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey or maple syrup, and chili flakes. Set aside.

      Heat the Oil: In a large wok or skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 1-2 minutes.

        Stir Fry the Aromatics: Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the hot oil, stirring quickly to prevent burning, for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

          Add Vegetables: Toss in the sliced red onion, bell pepper, zucchini, and snap peas. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until they start to soften but still retain some crunch.

            Incorporate Peaches: Gently add the sliced peaches to the wok and stir-fry for an additional 1-2 minutes, letting them warm through without losing their structure.

              Add Sauce: Pour the sauce over the stir-fry mixture, stirring well to coat all the ingredients evenly. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

                Garnish: Once everything is well-coated and heated through, remove from heat, and garnish with fresh basil or cilantro on top.

                  Serve: Spoon the stir fry over cooked rice or quinoa, and enjoy a deliciously balanced dish of flavors!
