What’s in Stir Fried Vegetables?
This veggie stir fry recipe is really more of a jumping-off point. Start here with the most delicious, flavorful sauce, and customize with your favorite vegetables.
Vegetables: I’m using mushrooms, sugar snap peas, carrots, bell peppers, and broccoli florets. But feel free to skip or add any veggies you like. Soy Sauce: I’m using low-sodium, but your favorite is more than welcome. Oyster Sauce: This sweet and salty sauce adds a delicious dimension. Brown Sugar: This adds sweetness to the stir fry sauce. Maple syrup works as well. Cornstarch: This thickens the sauce. Sesame Oil: Adds a nutty and earthy note. You can adjust the amount to your taste. Garlic: Mince, mince, mince! Ginger: Fresh ginger is preferred, but ground ginger works too. Olive Oil: Use this for the actual stir-frying. White Rice: I love serving stir fry with white rice, but you can use your favorite rice or grain. Or skip it and just make the vegetables.

For the main course, I like pairing this with these spicy Korean Chicken Wings, or a refreshing Cucumber Salad.
