Ever since I tried a similar dish at a small eatery in the heart of New York City, I've been hooked. The unique combination of textures and flavors was simply unforgettable! I’ve tweaked it over time to be my own, adding a personal touch that makes it all the more special. One thing that sets this stir-fry apart is the addition of apples – their natural sweetness balances the savory elements perfectly.
Imagine tender-crisp broccoli florets, vibrant bell peppers, and juicy apple slices all tossed together in a luscious, umami-rich sauce. It's a symphony of flavors that dances on your tongue. And the best part? It's incredibly versatile! You can easily swap out veggies based on what you have on hand or what’s in season. Think snow peas, carrots, or even some leafy greens. Feel free to experiment, I encourage it! Trust me, you won't be disappointed, its simple to do.

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Prepare the vegetables: Wash and chop the broccoli into small florets. Slice the bell peppers into thin strips. Core and thinly slice the apple. Mince the garlic and ginger. Set all ingredients aside.
- Mix the stir-fry sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option), rice vinegar, sesame oil, and cornstarch. Ensure there are no lumps of cornstarch, and the sauce is smooth.
- Heat the wok or skillet: Place a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and let it heat up for a few seconds until it shimmers slightly. Be careful not to overheat the oil.
- Sauté the aromatics: Add the minced garlic and ginger to the hot oil. Sauté for about 20-30 seconds, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic, as it can become bitter.
- Stir-fry the vegetables: Add the broccoli and bell peppers to the wok. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes, until they start to become tender-crisp. Keep the vegetables moving to ensure even cooking.
- Add the apple slices: Add the sliced apple to the wok. Stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes, until the apple slices are slightly softened but still hold their shape. Don't overcook the apple, or it will become mushy.
- Pour in the sauce: Pour the prepared stir-fry sauce over the vegetables and apple. Stir continuously to coat all the ingredients evenly. The sauce will thicken quickly as it cooks.
- Simmer and thicken: Let the sauce simmer for about 1-2 minutes, until it has thickened to your desired consistency. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Garnish and serve: Remove the wok from the heat. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions (if using). Serve immediately over rice or noodles.
- Optional: Add a protein. If you desire to add protein, pre-cook tofu, chicken, or shrimp and toss it in during the last few minutes of cooking.
📝 Notes
- For a gluten-free version, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
- Adjust the amount of honey or maple syrup to your desired level of sweetness.
