Spicy Ginger Veggie Stir Fry
Need a quick midweek meal to add to your dinner menu? This is it! There are so many variations to making stir fry, but I chose to make this recipe vegetarian-friendly. My family and I like to have a couple of veggie-based dinners every week. I feel lighter, more energized and fueled up. The tender-crisp vegetables retain more nutrients than if it was completely cooked through. Ginger has many anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antiviral properties. Not only is it healthy, but it works perfectly in stir fry dishes. Since this stir fry is veggie-based, adding high protein nuts and beans is essential for feeling full, satisfied and nourished.
The ingredients are super easy to customize – just use any spices, veggies and cooking oil you have in your home and your dish will still taste delicious. There are a couple of key ingredients, though, that you’ll need to take your dish up a notch.
Spicy Ginger Veggie Stir Fry Ingredients:
- Sesame oil: You can use any type of oil you have on hand, but if you plan on going to the grocery store, I highly recommend purchasing the sesame oil. It will add a ton of flavour to your stir fry.
- Vegetables: Peppers, mushroom, snow peas, edamame beans, carrot, broccoli, onion, scallion, tomatoes or add any of your favourite vegetables.
- Nuts: Add crunchy textures to your stir fry by adding crushed roasted peanuts. Almonds and cashews work great as well.
- Sauce: Fresh ginger, soy sauce, brown sugar, fresh cilantro, sriracha sauce, red wine vinegar, and garlic. You can easily adjust any of the measurements in this recipe to make it more palatable for you. If you prefer less spice, simply reduce the about of sriracha sauce, or if you love heat you can double the amount given.
- Seasonings: Since the sauce brings out so much flavour, you don’t want to over-season your vegetables. Keep the seasonings simple by adding s+p, paprika, dried parsley and dried oregano.
- Garnish: Top your dish off with extra crushed peanuts, cilantro and sesame seeds.
