Vegetable Stir Fry

Vegetable Stir Fry

This vegetable stir fry is loaded with a blend of colorful fresh veggies in a sweet and tangy sauce that takes less than 20 minutes to make. We were craving something Asian for lunch recently so I grabbed all of the veggies I had in the fridge and threw this vegetable stir fry together. The stir fry sauce is really tasty, very easy to make, and uses ingredients I always have on hand. This vegetable stir fry paired nicely with garlic rice and some of the leftover pineapple pork adobo and I thought it was a very tasty lunch. My kids also enjoyed their lunch and said they particularly liked the stir fry sauce on the veggies. I loved that this recipe used ingredients I had on hand and also filled my kids up with vegetables.

How to Make a Vegetable Stir Fry

Make the sauce by combining soy sauce, vegetable broth, brown sugar, cornstarch, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and sriracha together in a bowl; whisk until well combined then set aside until needed.

Heat the vegetable oil in a large cast iron skillet or wok over medium-high heat until very HOT.

Add the mushrooms, broccoli, bell pepper, sugar snap peas, onion, and carrot to the skillet and cook, stirring often, for 3 minutes, or until the veggies are almost tender.

Add the well-whisked sauce and cook until the sauce is boiling and thickened, about 1 minute. Serve immediately with sesame seeds, green onions, and hot chili oil on the side. Enjoy.

  1. Beautiful. Before my kids left home I made sure they knew how to make a stir fry! I usually have a little meat in mine, but what an excellent idea for a side dish! Or for a vegetarian!
