Sometimes you need to just load up on all the veggies. And these 30 minute stir fry vegetables are making my week so EASY.

What Vegetables Go With Stir Fry?
You can use just about any vegetable in stir fry’s. What’s best is adding vegetables with texture/crunch as well as umami for lots of flavor. I recommend vegetables like: broccoli, carrots (shredded or sliced), snow or snap peas, water chestnuts, mushrooms, asparagus, and bell peppers.
How To Make 30-Minute Stir Fry Vegetables
When making stir fry vegetables it’s important to remember that not all veggies cook the same. No one wants soggy vegetables, so it’s important to evenly saute your by doing in two batches.
Start by sautéing crunchier vegetables since they will take a little bit longer to cook, then halfway through add the veggies that softer in texture and take less time to cook. When veggies are done add sauce and bing bang boom – done!
- First whisk sauce ingredients together in a small bowl. Then, warm your cast-iron pan on medium to low heat with 1 tbsp of oil. Saute broccoli and sliced carrots for 5-7 minutes, stirring often.
- Next stir in peppers, mushrooms, and snow peas. Cook vegetables for another 3-5 minutes. Vegetables should be soft/cooked through, but still have some texture – we want to avoid the vegetables turning soggy. Last, add your sauce to the cooked vegetables and stir for 1 additional minutes for sauce to thicken.
What to Serve with Stir Fry Vegetables
One of my favorite ways to enjoy these flavorful asian veggies is served over white or brown rice. You can also serve them over asian noodles and add a cooked protein like chicken or tofu!
Extra Tips for Making Stir Fry Vegetables
- To make this recipe gluten free use a gluten free soy sauce or liquid aminos instead.
- I recommend using coconut sugar in this recipe as a natural sweetener, you can also use honey, maple syrup, or agave.
- This recipe calls for ginger – I recommend using fresh grated ginger root for a more authentic, umami flavor. But if you do not have ginger root you can use dried ginger as well.
- Serve this recipe as meal prep over rice for quick ready-to-serve meals throughout your week!
