These Vegetable Stir-Fries are a collection of recipes that include a blend of colorful veggies cooked in a variety of delicious sauces. Each one makes a healthy complete meal when served with rice or pasta.
We love stir-fries because they’re…
- Simple to make
- So versatile
- Fresh
- Healthy & filling
- Rainbow colored
- Crunchy
- Saucy
- Bursting with flavor
Stir-fries are a perfect way to use up that produce in the refrigerator that needs to go quickly. We always have odds and ends that can easily be made into a main dish stir fry.
How do you make a vegetable stir fry?
The great thing about stir-fries is that they are so easy to make. The first step is to simply decide on which vegetables you want to use.
Common veggies that we include in a stir fry are broccoli, carrots, onions, garlic, colorful bell peppers, zucchini, yellow squash, mushrooms, baby corn, and water chestnuts.
Often, we also add tofu, tempeh, or seitan to the recipe to make it even more hearty and able to feed more people.
The right stir-fry sauce is important
While the vegetables are cooking, I like to whip up a simple sauce from one of my many Stir Fry Sauces and have it ready to pour over the vegetables once they are slightly tender.
Allow the sauce to thicken and then serve the veggies over rice or pasta.
The recipe card at the bottom of the page has the full list of ingredients with measurements and instructions.
Are stir-fries healthy?
Stir fries are very healthy because they are packed with vegetables that are naturally low-calorie and loaded with fiber.
They are a rainbow of color that lets you know they are chock full of phytonutrients and antioxidants that help our bodies to fight disease and promote health.
