veggie stir fry

Sautéed vegetable dish

A veggie stir fry is a dish of vegetables cooked quickly over high heat, typically in a wok with oil and sauce.

The technique comes from Chinese cooking but has become a weeknight staple worldwide.

Any combination of vegetables works—broccoli, bell peppers, snap peas, carrots—cut small for fast, even cooking: I threw together a veggie stir fry with whatever was in the fridge.
