Stir-fries have come a long way from the oyster saucy, bland tasting concoctions of yesteryears. With a few simple techniques and fresh ingredients, this mixed vegetable Stir Fry Recipe throws together a homemade meal in less time than it takes to go out to a Chinese restaurant.
This versatile stir-fry Mixed Vegetable Stir fry recipe can be adapted to include just about any vegetable you’’d like. You can even use frozen vegetables if you’re strapped for time. Freezing does not really reduce the nutrient content of food, and are super convenient for busy days. Studies show that frozen fruits and vegetables are just as high in nutrients as fresh, and often even higher in nutrients. This is because the nutrients are mostly retained when frozen, unlike fresh fruit and vegetables which may be left in room temperature for a long time. Frozen Asian stir-fry vegetable blends typically consist of baby corn, red capsicum, snow peas, carrots, beans and broccoli.
