Vegetable Stir Fry

Vegetable stir-fry is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It’s a healthy and delicious way to get in your daily dose of vegetables. The dish is made by quickly stir-frying a variety of vegetables in a hot wok or pan with a flavorful sauce. You can use any vegetables you prefer, and the dish can be served with rice or noodles.

To make a vegetable stir-fry, you will need to have all of your vegetables prepped, and your sauce made ahead of time. In a hot wok or pan, add a small amount of oil and stir-fry your vegetables in batches, starting with the hardest and longest-cooking vegetables first and working your way to the quickest-cooking vegetables. Once all of the vegetables are cooked, you can add your sauce and continue to stir-fry for a minute or two until everything is heated through and well coated with the sauce.
