Veggies in Asian Stir Fry

Our recipe utilizes a mixed bag of frozen veggies in order to make this recipe even easier to prepare. All you need to do is open the bag and the vegetables are already pre-cut and mixed for you! There are a lot of different types of frozen mixed vegetables to choose from but we prefer to use a blend that contains veggies commonly found in Asian cuisine. For example, look for a bag of mixed vegetables that has:

• snow peas
• red bell pepper
• snap peas
• broccoli
• mushrooms
• water chestnuts
• onions
• asparagus
• carrots

Of course, feel free to choose your favorite vegetables to use in the recipe- any mix will work! You can even use fresh chopped vegetables in place of frozen. If you opt for fresh veggies, keep in mind that the cook time will be lower and the vegetables will cook faster.

So, if you are wondering can you make stir fry ahead of time, the answer is yes! Our recipe for Asian stir fry vegetables is a perfect make-ahead dish. Divide the cooked veggies between airtight containers, placing about a cup in each container and store them in the fridge for up to a week.

Make Your Own Vegetable Stir Fry

While this recipe is delicious and perfect as it is, there are a few alterations to the ingredients you may want to try to make this dish more personalized toward your tastes. Give these ideas a try when you want to get creative in the kitchen.

1. When making the sauce for the recipe, replace the balsamic vinegar with soy sauce or low sodium soy sauce. This will enhance the Asian flavor of the stir fry.
2. Grate or mince some fresh ginger and add it to the hot sesame oil along with garlic. The fresh ginger will add a little bit of spice and brighten up the vegetable stir fry. If you only have ground ginger, this can work as well. Add about 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger to the sauce mix, blending it in with the other sauce ingredients.
3. If you do not have sesame oil, use olive oil, canola oil or peanut oil in it’s place.
4. Add some sesame seeds to the hot oil along with the garlic. The seeds will toast in the hot garlic oil and add an incredible amount of flavor.
5. Find a veggie blend that has red bell pepper or slice your own pepper to add to the vegetable stir fry. Adding red pepper makes this recipe delicious and adds a pop of color.
6. Double the sauce ingredients to give the veggies and extra cup of sauce goodness.

Notes

Pro Tips:

• Snow peas, broccoli and carrots are all vegetable stir fry essentials. If you can’t find a frozen vegetable mix with these veggies, add a few fresh vegetables to the mix yourself. A cup of fresh snow peas or thinly sliced carrots will definitely make your recipe even more amazing.
• While our Asian vegetable stir fry recipes make a great side dish, you can easily turn it into a full meal by serving the stir fry vegetables over a cup of rice, noodles or brown rice. Cook the rice or noodles according to the package directions, estimating about 1 cup cooked rice or noodles per serving of vegetable stir fry.
• If you do not need this recipe to be vegetarian, add some cooked, sliced chicken to the vegetable stir fry recipe. Keep the rest of the ingredients the same and estimate about a cup of cubed chicken per serving of stir fry.
