How to Make Vegetable Stir Fry

Step 1: Make the Sauce

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, minced garlic, minced ginger, and cornstarch. Set aside.

Step 2: Stir Fry the Vegetables

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of oil.

Start with firmer veggies like carrots and broccoli. Stir fry for 2–3 minutes.

Add mushrooms, baby corn, and bell peppers. Stir fry for another 2–3 minutes.

Finally, add snow peas and zucchini. Cook for 1–2 minutes more.

Step 3: Add the Sauce

Pour the sauce over the vegetables.

Toss quickly to coat and cook for 1–2 minutes until the sauce thickens and glazes the veggies.

Step 4: Serve

Serve immediately over steamed rice, noodles, or quinoa.

Garnish with sesame seeds if desired.

What to Serve It With

Steamed jasmine or brown rice

Fried rice

Rice noodles or soba noodles

Grilled tofu or tempeh

Spring rolls or potstickers

Variations / Substitutions

Add Protein: Toss in tofu, shrimp, or chicken.

Make it Spicy: Add sriracha or crushed red pepper.

Use Other Veggies: Cabbage, green beans, or spinach work well.

Low-Sugar: Reduce the brown sugar slightly.

Storage & Leftovers

Freezer: Not ideal; veggies may get mushy.
