This is the recipe you want to have on hand for quick dinners, especially if you have vegetables you need to use. We used baby corn spears, mushrooms, red pepper and broccoli in this recipe, but you can use just about any vegetables.

Here are other vegetables that will work great in a vegetable stir fry: Onion (red or sweet), green beans, snow peas and asparagus.

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.

    Easy recipe and full of flavor. I substituted the vegies since I didn’t have carrots on hand and used green beans, and added green onions. It was delicious. My family thinks I’m an amazing cook now. Thank you.

    Hi. If we don’t want the dish sweet, can we not add the honey?

      Hi Mary Jane, this recipe is intended to be sweet and savory, if you try it without the honey it may be a little different and missing something, but it may work. If you experiment, let me know how you liked the recipe.

    Hi Natasha, will a well seasoned cast iron skillet work to make this?

    Loved making this simple yet very flavourful recipe. I switched up some veggies based on what I had and added cooked chicken at the end. I also added 1 finger green chili to the sauce along with a little Sriracha. Was a nice medium spiciness level. This is my first time commenting on any recipe. I have a pic too but can’t figure out how to post it! Lol

    I’ve been looking for a stir fry seasoning that my host-mum used to make when I was an exchange student in Australia a few years back. This is just that! Took me back to my high school days. Thank you, will definitely make again!

    I loved it but would double the sauce. I also added a bit of hoisin for a bit of sweet at the end. I toasted some sesame seeds and sprinkled with parsley.

    I plan to make this tonight or coming weekend with some tweaks. First, omitting the oil and stir fry using broth or water. Second omitting the honey and using Walden Farms Maple Syrup. Doing this to lower the WW point value. It also lowers the fat, calories, carbs.
