There is no right or wrong way to make a stir fry, so you will absolutely love this Pineapple Broccoli Stir Fry with Thai Peanut Sauce – it is so good!

I love stir fries

I think I lived off of stir fries the first year I was transitioning to a clean-eating lifestyle. They were easy (win). They were quick (win). And they were primarily vegetables (always a win).

There is no right or wrong way to make a stir fry, so no matter what I had on hand, I could make one (win). You get the point: I love stir fries. 

Broccoli & pineapples

This stir fry was born from one of those nights when I was digging in the (almost empty) fridge, trying to dream up something delicious for dinner. What I had was some broccoli that desperately needed to be used up and some frozen pineapples.

Since I have never fancied broccoli in a smoothie (actually, I doubt anyone fancies that), I figured a stir fry was my dinner option. And what a dinner it was!

Stir fry that delights!

Topped with my tried and true homemade Thai peanut sauce, the combination of flavors and textures left me licking my plate (don’t judge me).

My husband still, years later, claims this to be one of his favorite dishes that I make. The best part is, it takes next to no time to make. Serve it over brown rice, jasmine rice, or cauliflower rice and you will be licking your plate too.

      Hi Rachel! I’m so happy you like the blog and that you found me on Instagram. As for the sugar, brown sugar would likely work fine, however it is still a refined sugar. If you are trying to cut those out and don’t have any coconut sugar, perhaps try maple syrup or honey as a substitute.

    I used coconut sugar and it worked perfectly. But using the quantities, my sauce was liquid not like shown in the image. Without the water it would have been like the image I believe… ?

    Yummy! Looked in our almost empty fridge/freezer last night and found the perfect ingredients: broccoli, carrots, sweet potato, onion (last two already cut/prepped in freezer) and cilantro. I did not feel like measuring anything for sauce so estimated (nailed it 🙌). I replaced pb with tahini and added a little of the pineapple juice. Yes, it seems runny, but not when added to veggies. Served over basmati/quinoa. So easy! Thanks.
