Veggie Stir Fry substitutions and additions

Making stir fry veggies is a great way to use up produce that you already have on hand.

Substitutions:

• Onion: substitute the green onions for yellow onion, white onion, or red onion
• Peppers: Any color of bell pepper will work for stir fry
• Vegetables: Have other veggies to use up? You can also try substituting carrots, cauliflower, green beans, baby corn, bok choy, cabbage, zucchini, or asparagus.

I would not recommend using frozen vegetables for stir fry.

Additions:

• Protein: Try adding chickpeas, tofu, chicken, or your favorite protein to the stir fry to make it a meal.

Noodles or Rice for serving

• To make low carb: cauliflower rice or low carb noodles

• Rice: brown rice or white rice

• Noodles: Brown rice noodles, lo mein noodles, or ramen noodles

How to Stir Fry Vegetables

Step 1: add the 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!

Step 2: Add the stir fry sauce and cook an additional 3 – 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the 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!
