vegetable stir fry

Sautéed garden mix

A vegetable stir fry is a dish of mixed vegetables cooked quickly over high heat in a wok or large pan, typically with oil and seasonings like soy sauce, garlic, or ginger.

The technique originated in Chinese cooking but has become a staple of quick home meals worldwide: I threw together a vegetable stir fry with whatever was in the fridge.
