how to make stir fry vegetables
First, add water chestnuts, sugar snap peas, mushrooms, bell pepper, green onions, broccoli, garlic, and ginger to a large skillet or jumbo cooker with 1 tablespoon of sesame oil.
Cook the vegetables on medium high heat for 20 – 25 minutes, stirring often, until most of the liquid has evaporated and vegetables are cooked but not too soft.
Texture is important here, we don't want everything to be mushy!
Add the stir fry sauce and cook an additional 3 – 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until sauce is thick and sticking to the vegetables.
Serve alone or over white or brown rice for a delicious meal or side dish.
This recipe includes some of the best stir fry vegetables:
- water chestnuts
- sugar snap peas
- mushrooms
- bell peppers
- green onions
- broccoli
- garlic

All of these vegetables pair so well together, and compliment the richness of the stir fry sauce.
Fresh minced garlic and ginger help tie together all of those oriental flavors of the stir fry sauce.
Never used fresh ginger before?
Don't be afraid! You can buy it at most any grocery store in the produce section.
Just cut off the skin/peeling, and dice it up fine just like you would garlic. It's really so easy!
