Life is busy ! And a stir-fry is an absolute life saver when it comes to getting dinner on the table quickly. Especially on a busy week night.
What is a Stir-Fry ?
Stir-Fries are exactly what the name says and is a Chinese cooking method which has by now taken over the world !
You quickly stir-fry meats and vegetables over high heat in a little oil until done. The more you stir, the quicker the meal is ready.
And really, most recipes only require a couple of minutes of stir-frying and it is cooked in record time. I would say the prepping takes a little longer, especially if you chop your own vegetables.
However, nowadays, so many fresh vegetables are available, already chopped. Some even mixed for a certain type of stir-fry – think Mexican, Asian, French and so many more.
Which vegetables are suitable for a stir-fry ?
Most vegetables are ! As long as the vegetables used play well together (flavor wise) and are chopped in smallish pieces, you can use just about any vegetable.
Some of the more popular vegetables include:
- Baby Corn
- Mushrooms (especially Shiitake)
- Bell Peppers (all of them)
- Sugar Snap Peas
- Carrots
- Spring Onions (Green Onions)
- Beans
- Cabbage
- and so many more
The bonus with a stir-fry is that most meats, seafood and poultry is ideal in this type of meal. Or you can totally make it vegetarian !
Sauces, herbs and spices are also a huge part of stir-frying. Naturally, the sauce, herbs and spices should match the recipe you are aiming for.
Fortunately, I have compiled an awesome round-up of 23 Stir-Fry recipes which you can start making tonight. Might be a little difficult choosing which one to start with though !
