A vegetable stir fry is a very simple and quick meal that tastes great. It can be healthy if you use good ingredients as this recipe does. Feel free to substitute the vegetables you like best.

Vegetable Stir Fry Ingredients:

Broccoli

Broccoli is packed full of health benefits for you. It is helpful for the heart, reduces the risk of cancer, and is good for blood sugar control for diabetics. It is high in fiber, protein, and detoxifying phytochemicals, and one cup of cooked broccoli only has 31 calories and no fat. Broccoli is one of the many alkaline-forming foods that help prevent cellular damage to the eyes and may even slow the aging process. A vegetable stir fry just would not be the same without broccoli.

Carrots

Carrots – forget about Vitamin A pills. With this orange crunchy superfood, you get Vitamin A and a host of other powerful health benefits including beautiful skin, cancer prevention, and anti-aging. A colorful vegetable stir fry is always appealing and carrots add that orange and a delicious crunch.

Onions

WHO recognizes that Onions help relieve symptoms such as coughs, congestion asthma, and respiratory infections. Onions are full of protective phytonutrients, vitamins, trace minerals, quercetin (an important flavonoid), chromium, and unique anti-inflammatory nutrients. a vegetable stir fry would not be the same without tasty onions sautéed to add flavour.

Peas

Many people think green peas are just a poor man’s meat or a cheap restaurant side-dish that puts ‘green’ on your plate. However, peas are really little powerhouses of nutrition that are a boon for your health and the whole planet. I love adding fresh peas to vegetable stir fry.

Red Pepper

Red pepper is my favourite; I think that is because it is sweeter. The peppers have 2 times as much vitamin C as oranges; red and yellow peppers have 4 times as much. Red pepper adds color and sweetness to this vegetable stir fry.

Zucchini

I love Zucchini; it is one of my favourite vegetables. It is sweet, easy, and quick to cook and they are antioxidant-rich and low in calories and a great addition to a vegetable stir fry.

Spinach

Spinach was a superfood even before there was the term superfood. I’m referring of course to Popeye the Sailor Man. One can of the green stuff and he turned into muscle popping tornado of energy. Even without Popeye’s recommendation, spinach contains more nutrients per calorie than any other food on the earth and adds nutrition to this vegetable stir fry. It is loaded with vitamins like A, K, D, and E and a host of trace minerals and is a good source of omega 3 fatty acids.

Almond Oil

Almond oil has a high smoke point making it great for stir-frying and sautéing this vegetable stir fry. It is good for High Heat Up To 460F. What I like about it is that it has a light, clean flavor that does not alter the taste of the foods I am using it to cook with.

Garlic

To get the most health benefits from Garlic, let it sit for a minimum of 5 minutes, after cutting and before eating or cooking. Waiting for 5 – 10 minutes allows the health-promoting allicin to form. When you let it sit, allicin is formed and this is worth the wait. Add some garlic to your soups, stews, and salad dressing recipes to lower high cholesterol. Sometimes it is easier to use some Organic Freeze Dried Garlic so no chopping and peeling and it can be quickly added to a vegetable stir fry.

Ginger

Ginger is a wonderful herb superfood full of health benefits. Spicy aromatic ginger adds a unique flavour to this vegetable stir fry as well as many other meals and beverages. The many wonderful health benefits of ginger also cause the cells of my body to glow with gratitude. Chinese medicine and Indian Ayurvedic medicine have used ginger to help cure and prevent health problems for thousands of years.

Bragg Liquid Aminos

Bragg Liquid Aminos is a Certified NON-GMO liquid protein concentrate, derived from healthy soybeans that adds a great flavour to this vegetable stir fry and also replaces the need to add salt.

Ingredients: Bragg Liquid Aminos are made from health-giving, NON-GMO soybeans and purified water. They are an excellent, healthy, gourmet replacement for Tamari and Soy Sauce. Not fermented or heated and Gluten-Free. Bragg’s has a small amount of naturally occurring sodium. No table salt is added. If less sodium is desired, use a 6 oz. Bragg’s spray bottle and dilute with 1/3 distilled water or to taste and then either add in or spray on food.

Tamari

Tamari is a premium form of Japanese soy sauce made with just fermented soybeans. Made with 100% whole soybeans and no wheat, Ohsawa Organic Tamari is an excellent choice for those who are wheat-sensitive and for adding a salty flavour to this vegetable stir fry.
