Servings

• Serves 2

Ingredients

• ½ stick Pepper Garlic Butter (about ¼ cup / 57 g)
• 2 chili peppers, sliced
• 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced or minced
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 10 asparagus spears, trimmed and cut into bite-sized pieces
• 1 head broccoli, cut into small florets
• 60 g snow peas
• 60 g snap peas
• 60 g green peas
• 2 mini bok choy, halved or quartered
• ⅓ bunch fresh parsley, roughly chopped
• Zest of ½ lime
• Up to 5 tbsp soy sauce, or to taste
• ¼ litre (1 cup) water or vegetable stock
• 1 tsp furikake seasoning
  

Instructions

1. Prep the vegetables. Wash and prepare all of the vegetables so they're ready to cook. Keep the bok choy, asparagus and broccoli separate from the peas, as they will need a little more cooking time.
2. Build the flavour. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chili peppers and garlic and sauté briefly until fragrant, being careful not to brown the garlic.
3. Cook the vegetables. Add the broccoli, asparagus and bok choy. Sauté for 2–3 minutes, then add the snow peas, snap peas and green peas.
4. Add the sauce. Pour in the vegetable stock or water and add soy sauce to taste. Cook for another 3–5 minutes, tossing frequently, until the vegetables are tender-crisp and vibrant.
5. Add the Pepper Garlic Butter. Reduce the heat and add the Pepper Garlic Butter. Toss everything together until the butter melts and creates a glossy, flavourful sauce that coats all the vegetables.
6. Finish & serve. Add the lime zest and parsley and toss once more. Divide between two plates and finish with a sprinkle of furikake.
   

Butter Bar Tip

Add the Pepper Garlic Butter toward the end of cooking so its rich pepper and garlic flavour stays front and centre. Serve alongside grilled steak, chicken, seafood or over steamed rice for a complete meal.
