Winter Veggie Stir Fry Recipes

THE EASIEST VEGETABLE STIR FRY

Steps:

• In a wok or large skillet add 1 Tablespoon olive oil over medium high heat. Add bell pepper, peas, carrots, mushrooms, broccoli, baby corn, and water chestnuts. Sauté 2-3 minutes until veggies are almost tender.
• In a small whisk together soy sauce, garlic, brown sugar, sesame oil, chicken broth, and cornstarch.
• Pour over veggies and cook until the sauce has thickened. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired

WINTER ROOT VEGGIE STIR FRY (VEGAN FRIENDLY)

Steps:

• Rinse and rub the root vegetables clean in cool running water.
• Prepare vegetables and combine all except the grated *red* beets.
• Heat a skillet to medium temperature (about 350 degrees) with oil. Stir-fry the veggies (except *red*beets) until tender. I stir fried everything about 8-10 minutes until the root veggies were browned and the onions crispy and starting to caramelize. Add the garlic powder the last minute of stir frying.
• Serve hot with cheese, raw grated beets and parsley on top. Season to taste with salt and cracked black pepper.
• Serving suggestion from Cookgirl's kitchen: We served the veggies over long grain brown rice. If desired, accompany the stir fry with a small mixed greens' salad.

20 BEST VEGETARIAN STIR FRY RECIPES

Steps:

• Get all ingredients ready and in one place. Thaw the frozen veggies (with a microwave or by taking them out of the freezer early enough).
• Chopping time: chop the snow peas, baby corn and onion. Dice the garlic and ginger.
• For the sauce: grab a large bowl and chuck in the peanut butter, soy sauce, sweet chilli sauce, water, syrup. Mix well with a spoon 'til it's a nice and creamy sauce. Optionally, throw in the lemon grass.
• Cook the noodles so you have them at hand when the stir-fry comes together. When ready, drain and rinse under cold water (they'll stick together less).
• In a wok or large pan heat the oil until it starts smoking.
• Add the garlic, ginger, onion, sugar snaps and baby corn
• Around 40 seconds later add the thawed veggies. (If you just use fresh veg, throw in everything at once).
• Stir it well for about 4-5 minutes.
• Reduce the heat a little and add the sauce and noodles. It'll quickly begin to boil.
• Make sure it's all nice and creamy. Add a little more water, if not!
• Add some peanuts
• Let it simmer for another 3-5 minutes.
• Fish out the lemon grass before serving (it's only for the flavour, not for eating!!)
• Done!
