Asian Vegetable Stir Fry

We absolutely love this dish when we’re looking for something light and healthy for dinner. I serve it up with a little bit of grilled chicken for a complete meal.  But if you’re vegetarian, or if you just enjoy eating a meatless meal once in a while, it’s totally delicious served over rice or Asian noodles too (use vegetable broth for vegetarian).

Asian Vegetables:

There are a lot of Asian vegetables, and they’re not all in this dish.  If you’d like to try swapping out a few of the vegetables in this recipe for something else, I do have a few suggestions.  My advice to you is to visit your local Asian market, and you’ll find a lot of vegetables there that you won’t spot in a traditional grocery store.

Yardlong beans, also called asparagus beans, are great to add to a stir fry.  Mustard greens and garlic chives are also delicious additions to an Asian Vegetable Stir Fry. Japanese eggplant is delicious too.  Choy Sum is similar to Bok Choy and can be used in a stir fry.  These would all be interesting additions, so give them a try!

Jasmine rice is my favorite rice to make for serving with this Asian Vegetable Stir Fry.  It’s light and fluffy, and it has a good texture.  It also cooks quickly- in about 15 minutes.  Chinese style noodles (sold in your market’s International aisle) are easy to make, and they’re good when served with stir fry too.

If you’re a fan of stir fry recipes, you might also enjoy my Three Pea Stir Fry (a medley stir fry of three different kinds of peas).  My Lemony Stir Fried Sugar Snap Peas are pretty delicious too!
