Vegetable Stir Fry is a popular dish in just about every country. It may be done using different vegetables according to your preference and also different sauces or just kept simple as this recipe is done.
I usually use a mixture of cabbage, broccoli, snow peas or snap peas, green beans, carrots and garlic. Other vegetables that also work great with it is cauliflower, Pak Choy, green or red bell peppers, and onions. This dish is great served by itself or as a vegetable side to any meal.
Vegetables are pre-cut in bite size pieces and set aside. Garlic is peeled and crushed leaving in bigger pieces or minced if preferred. I personally like bigger pieces of garlic in mine as I like the big flavor of it with the stir fry. If using green beans, I blanch them first for a few minutes in boiling water in a medium pot as they take a little longer to cook.
A large wok or skillet is heated on medium-high heat with a little oil. The vegetables are then added and stir fried for just a few minutes, sprinkled with a pinch of sugar and a little salt (if keeping it simple), removed from heat and best served immediately.
