Ingredients
  

Stir Fry

  • 5 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 inches ginger minced
  • 4 green onions finely sliced, greens and whites separated
  • 1/2 green cabbage finely sliced
  • 24 oz baby bella mushrooms or mushroom of choice, sliced
  • 1 large yellow onion sliced
  • 1 lb snap peas
  • 12 oz frozen edamame
  • 2 T sesame oil
  • 2 T avocado oil
  • Cilantro optional for garnish

Peanut Butter Satay sauce

  • 3 T peanut butter I used the scraps of 2 large jars
  • 4 T soy sauce
  • 2 T rice vinegar
  • 1 T honey
  • 1 T chili paste adjusted for spice preference
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 ounce hot water

Instructions
 

Assembling your Stir Fry

  • In a large sautee pan or wok, add sesame oil over medium heat along with garlic, ginger, and green onion whites.
  • Once fragrant, add onions, and saute for about 1 minute
  • Add cabbage, a pinch of salt, avocado oil, and stir. Allow to cook down until the cabbage is about half in size (15-20 minutes)
  • Add mushrooms and allow them to cook until tender and water has evaporated (another 15-20 minutes)
  • Turn heat up to medium-high and add bell pepper and allow brown, about 5 minutes
  • Add snap peas and frozen edamame and mix in to distribute the heat and thaw edamame. You want them to be warm without losing their texture. Once all vegetables are ready, turn off the heat, add the satay sauce, stir, and serve immediately.
  • Serve with rice or rice noodles, green onion greens, and cilantro.

Peanut Satay Sauce

  • Combine all ingredients in a bowl and whisk until well combined.
  • If you are using the remnants of a peanut butter jar, like me, add all ingredients to the peanut butter jar and shake vigorously until all the peanut butter is pulled off the sides. Make sure the water is hot to help loosen it up. You may need to go in with a rubber spatula to scrape, but it will be much easier than it would if you were scraping it without having shaken it with warm ingredients.

Notes

This recipe is completely customizable based on what you have in your refrigerator! This is what I have, so it's what I used. Use whatever vegetables you need to use. The key ingredients you want to make sure you have for the base are the sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and peanut satay sauce.
