Ingredients

– 1 cup sugar snap peas
– 2 cups broccoli florets
– 1 cup mixed beans (cooked, such as black beans, kidney beans, and chickpeas)
– 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, minced
– 4 tablespoons soy sauce (or gluten-free soy sauce)

– Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Creating Bean, Broccoli and Sugar Snap Stir-Fry with Sesame Brittle is a straightforward process that involves a few simple steps:

1. Prepare the Vegetables: Rinse sugar snap peas and broccoli thoroughly. Trim the ends of the sugar snap peas and cut broccoli into florets.
2. Make the Stir-Fry Sauce: In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, honey or maple syrup, rice vinegar, and water. Set aside.
3. Toast the Sesame Seeds: In a pan over medium heat, toast sesame seeds until golden brown. Keep stirring to avoid burning. Once toasted, remove from pan and set aside.
4. Heat the Oil: In the same pan, add vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Allow it to heat up before adding garlic and ginger.
5. Sauté the Aromatics: Add minced garlic and ginger to the pan. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
6. Add Vegetables: Toss in the broccoli and sugar snap peas. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes or until they start to become tender.
7. Incorporate the Beans: Add mixed beans to the pan and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
8. Pour in the Sauce: Add the prepared sauce to the pan, stirring well to coat all the ingredients. Cook for another minute until heated through.
9. Season: Taste and season with salt and pepper as desired. If you’re using sesame oil, sprinkle it over the top and mix well.
10. Add Sesame Brittle: Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the dish just before serving. For an extra crunch, consider adding a few pieces of sesame brittle as a garnish.

With these clear and easy steps, you will be able to create this delightful stir-fry in no time.
