How to Make Nutritious Stir-Fry QUICKLY!

Stir-Fried Veggies are one of our favorite ways to eat veggies! Here’s how you can make a nutritious stir-fry quickly!

We’ve been eating a lot of stir-fried veggies lately! It’s been a great way to up our veggie intake as stir-frying them gives them such an incredible flavor!

Not that it’s terribly difficult or time consuming, but cutting up veggies for a meal does take more time than simply opening a bag of frozen veggies or grabbing mixed greens out of the fridge. So here’s what I’ve tried to do if I have a few spare mintues (read: if the babies are in their high chairs eating breakfast, safe from running in two different directions, and therefore safe from climbing precariously on the furniture while my back is turned)…

How to Make Nutrious Stir-Fry Quickly

The advice is a no-brainer really. Simply spend a few minutes – when you can find a few minutes – washing and cutting a bunch of veggies for stir-fry. Mix them all in a large ziplock bag and pull them out to cook at meal time!

Recently, I spent about 15 minutes washing and cutting sweet peppers, onions, broccoli, asparagus, and carrots. We then had a 2-gallon bag of prepped veggies in the fridge! So for the next few days, we have delicious stir-fry meals or stir-fried veggie side dishes with our meals!

Here are three ways we like to eat stir-fried veggies:

1. As a delicious side dish to go with whatever meat we are eating.

2. Stirred into cooked spaghetti noodles like this. Sometimes we add cooked meat, sometimes we don’t.

3. Stirred into Stick-of-Butter-Rice. Again, sometimes we add cooked meat and sometimes we don’t.

    Finishing up veggies from last summer’s garden. Didn’t have any more zucchini, but added parsnips and kohlrabi, etc. Thanks for the simplicity. Yum. Appreciate all your efforts.

    A variation that we enjoy is to sub coconut aminos for the soy sauce and add 1 T of toasted sesame seed oil when adding the aminos. The coconut aminos gives the stir fry a sweeter taste. Add the sesame oil sparingly – a little goes a long way.
