Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tbsp peanut butter ((crunchy would be nice))
2 tbsp soy sauce ((light or dark are both great))
2 tbsp sweet chili sauce
¼ cup water
1 tbsp maple syrup
2 tbsp peanut oil ((sunflower oil will do too.))
1 clove garlic ((peeled and diced))
1 piece ginger, fresh ((thumb sized, peeled and grated))
1 onion ((peeled and diced))
2-3 cups vegetables, fresh or frozen ((choose your favourite: broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, etc.))
1 big handful snow peas ((or sugar snap peas))
6-8 baby corns
4.5 oz noodles ((I love glass noodles as they're really quick to cook and taste great!))
1 handful peanuts
1 stick lemongrass

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!

SARAH'S EASY VEGETABLE STIR-FRY



Sarah's Easy Vegetable Stir-Fry image

This is a Chinese-style stir-fry with a brown sauce. You can use any combination of your favorite vegetables. The sauce can be made ahead of time, so you can easily just stir-fry the veggies and add in the sauce. Add chicken, beef, or (my favorite) fried tofu. This recipe is easily adaptable to use your favorite vegetables - just chop enough to completely fill your large skillet. Garnish with chow mein noodles.

EASY STIR FRIED VEGETABLES

One of the things I really like about stir-fry is that you can add or subtract whatever vegetables you like and it still tastes great. It's such a great way to use up those veggies in your fridge, so please, use whatever you have on hand. All of these veggies can be found year-round so it's easy to make whenever you are in the mood.

Tips for Making a Vegetarian Stir-Fry

1. Choose a variety of vegetables: Different vegetables add different flavors, textures, and nutrients to your stir-fry. Consider using a mix of leafy greens, root vegetables, and colorful bell peppers. 2. Cut your vegetables into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly. 3. Marinate your vegetables: Marinating your vegetables in a flavorful sauce or marinade before cooking helps them absorb more flavor. 4. Use a hot wok or skillet: A hot pan will help your vegetables cook quickly and evenly without overcooking them. 5. Stir-fry in batches: If you're cooking a large amount of vegetables, stir-fry them in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. 6. Don't overcook your vegetables: Vegetables should be cooked until they are tender-crisp, but not mushy. 7. Add your sauce at the end: Adding your sauce at the end of the cooking process helps prevent it from burning. 8. Serve immediately: Stir-fries are best served hot, so serve them immediately after cooking.

Conclusion

Vegetarian stir-fries are a quick, easy, and healthy way to get your vegetables in. By following these tips, you can create a delicious and flavorful stir-fry that the whole family will enjoy.
