- 1/6 cup creamy natural peanut butter
- 1/4 cup water, divided
- 1 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce, divided
- 1/2 tablespoon rice vinegar

- 3/4 pounds broccoli crowns, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 small red bell pepper, sliced

Directions
-
Whisk peanut butter, 1/4 cup water, brown sugar, 1 tablespoon soy sauce and vinegar in a medium bowl until smooth. Set aside.

Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over medium heat. Add broccoli and cook, stirring frequently, until beginning to soften and brown in spots, about 6 minutes.
