  • Servings: 3-4

Ingredients:

¼ cup Pineapple Juice
1 Tbsp Oyster Sauce
1 tsp Smooth Asian Chili Sauce, i like sriracha
1½ Tbsp Peanut Oil, or vegetable oil
1½ tsp Grated Fresh Ginger
2 Garlic Cloves, minced
1 cup Broccoli Florets
1 Large Red Bell Pepper, cut into strips ¼" wide
¼ cup sliced Almonds (optional:
Toast Until Fragrant In Dry Pan Over Medium Heat, for extra flavor

Directions:

To make sauce, stir together pineapple juice, oyster sauce, and Asian chili sauce; set aside. Heat wok or large non-stick skillet until water dropped on surface evaporates immediately. Add peanut oil, coating evenly. Stir-fry ginger and garlic a few seconds until fragrant. Add broccoli; stir-fry for 1 minute. Add red bell pepper; stir-fry 2 minutes or until the vegetables are crisp-tender. Add sliced almonds and stir-fry 2 minutes. Push vegetables away from the center of wok. Add sauce to center of wok, cooking until bubbly. Stir all ingredients to coat.

Helpful Tips:

This recipe can be adjusted easily to your preference for heat and garlic. Try it with 2 tablespoons of sesame seeds if you are out of almonds. Lots of healthy stuff in here--antioxidants, especially in the almonds and garlic--and it tastes great.
