Crisp vegetables steamed in a delicious sweet and salty sauce? Yes please! This is a healthy vegetable stir fry with crisp veggies and the perfect amount of sweet and salty!
It takes only a few minutes to create this Sweet and Salty Vegetable Stir Fry.. Simply toss brown sugar, soya sauce, Worcestershire and garlic with some fresh veggies, toss them in a hot wok and steam for 5 minutes! I like to reserve the peas and broccoli for the last minute to keep them ultra crisp. Be sure not to over cook those beauties!
What are the best vegetables to use in a stir fry?
You’re favourites! You can add anything you like to a veggie stir fry! You can use peppers, bok choy, celery, mushrooms, zucchini, asparagus, cherry tomatoes, sprouts; pretty much anything you want. I recommend frying the vegetables that take the longest to cook first, adding the veggies that take quicker to cook at the end. With the vegetables I just listed, I would cook the peppers, celery, mushrooms and zucchini first, leaving the bok choy, asparagus, cherry tomatoes and sprouts for that last two minute steam.
