1 bell pepper (any color), thinly sliced

1 cup broccoli florets, chopped into bite-sized pieces

1 cup sugar snap peas, trimmed and halved if large

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced or grated

2 tablespoons olive oil, for sautéing

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

1 tablespoon honey, for a touch of sweetness

1 tablespoon sesame oil, for added depth

1 tablespoon rice vinegar, to balance the flavors

Instructions
 

Prepare Ingredients: Start by gathering all your ingredients. Slice, dice, and chop as described to ensure easy cooking and to bring all flavors together cohesively.

    Heat Oil: In a large skillet or wok, pour in the olive oil and heat it over medium-high heat. Wait until the oil becomes shimmering, indicating it’s hot enough for cooking.

      Sauté Aromatics: Carefully add the minced garlic and ginger into the hot oil. Stir continuously for about 30 seconds until fragrant, avoiding burning.

        Cook Meats: Introduce the sliced salami, torn prosciutto, and smoked sausage into the skillet. Sauté these delicious meats for about 3-4 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and slightly crispy, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.

          Add Vegetables: Toss in the sliced bell pepper, broccoli florets, and sugar snap peas. Stir-fry these vibrant vegetables for an additional 5-7 minutes until they are tender-crisp, retaining some of their vibrant colors.

            Create Sauce: In a small mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. If you love a kick of heat, add the red pepper flakes. Whisk together until well blended.

              Combine & Cook: Pour the prepared sauce over the sautéed meats and vegetables in the skillet. Stir thoroughly to ensure everything is evenly coated. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to heat through and flavors to meld. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.

                Serve: Serve this enticing Charcuterie Stir Fry over a warm bed of cooked rice or fluffy quinoa. Finish with a generous sprinkle of freshly chopped herbs to brighten the dish and add a touch of color.
