Stir fry veggies are a classic favorite.

how to make stir fry vegetables
First, add water chestnuts, sugar snap peas, mushrooms, bell pepper, green onions, broccoli, garlic, and ginger to a large skillet or jumbo cooker with 1 tablespoon of sesame oil.
Cook the vegetables on medium high heat for 20 – 25 minutes, stirring often, until most of the liquid has evaporated and vegetables are cooked but not too soft.
Texture is important here, we don’t want everything to be mushy!

Add the stir fry sauce and cook an additional 3 – 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until sauce is thick and sticking to the vegetables.
Serve alone or over white or brown rice for a delicious meal or side dish.

This recipe includes some of the best stir fry vegetables:
- water chestnuts
- sugar snap peas
- mushrooms
- bell peppers
- green onions
- broccoli
- garlic
- ginger

All of these vegetables pair so well together, and compliment the richness of the stir fry sauce.
Fresh minced garlic and ginger help tie together all of those oriental flavors of the stir fry sauce.
Never used fresh ginger before?
Don’t be afraid!
You can buy it at most any grocery store in the produce section.
Just cut off the skin/peeling, and dice it up fine just like you would garlic.
It’s really so easy!

These vegetables offer a variety of textures and flavors, and when cooked together the result is so delicious!
I am a big veggie lover, so this is like heaven in a skillet to me.
I love eating so much fresh produce!

What stir fry sauce to use
For this stir fry vegetables recipe, I use the stir fry sauce recipe that I now use for all of my stir fry recipes: my 3 ingredient homemade stir fry sauce (linked in the recipe card below).
It is ridiculously simple, no fancy long ingredient lists, and tastes incredible every time!

As long as you use it with fresh garlic and ginger (like we are in this recipe!) the sauce is a winner every time.
I’m so glad I discovered this recipe, it has seriously changed my life and we make way more stir fry recipes now more than ever before.

This recipe easily serves 4 people, and makes a huge amount of veggie stir fry.

I purchased one more than a decade ago and I’ve been a big fan ever since.
I believe I’m now on my third jumbo cooker since I started using them!
It’s a well used and well loved pan in our house, and perfect for making huge stir fry recipes in!

Hello- When adding chickpeas as the protein, do I cook them with the veggies for 20mins or seperately ?
Thanks, can’t wait to try this week.

Either way would be fine! If you cook them separately just use a bit of sesame oil in the pan.

Best stir fry I’ve ever made. Being bold with the ginger makes a massive difference. The stir fry sauce is delicious too. I’ve a sweet tooth so I added a dessert spoon on sweetener.
I thought 20-25 minutes sounded like a long time but the veg were perfect after 20.
Thank you for the recipe.

Can I use frozen vegetables for this recipe? Or will it turn out kind of soggy?

I wouldn't use frozen vegetables, the texture would definitely not turn out the same.
