How to Make Veggie Stir Fry?

A recipe doesn’t get much easier than this one. Don’t forget to get started on your side dish as this stir fry comes together so quickly.

1. Prep vegetables – Be sure to cut the vegetables in uniform sizes so they cook evenly.
2. Sautee veggies in a large ski or wok. Add the butter, garlic and ginger.
3. Make stir fry sauce by whisking together all of the ingredients.
4. Add the sauce to the vegetables. Simmer stir fry 3 – 4 minutes until sauce thickens, stir as needed.

What to Serve Stir Fry Vegetables With?

This recipe can easily be served as:

A main dish with a side of white rice.
A vegetable side dish paired with General Tso’s Chicken or even Teriyaki Salmon.
Add protein such as chicken, shrimp or beef for a hearty meal. If adding protein, as we did with our Chicken Stir Fry, you’ll want to double the sauce.

Can I make the Stir Fry in Advance?

Yes! This can easily be made in advance. Prep the vegetables and keep them covered and refrigerated until ready to use. The sauce can be made and kept in a different container. Continue with the recipe when you are ready to serve the stir fry.

How to Reheat Stir Fry: The stir fry reheats well and can be made completely in advance, then just reheated over low heat.

This veggie stir fry is so easy and good. The sweet and savory homemade stir fry sauce with ginger and garlic adds so much flavor to the sauteed vegetables. We added some hot sauce for heat in the sauce but that can totally be left out.
