Vegetable stir-fries are a great staple for most vegetarians and vegans. They can be prepared quickly with ingredients you likely have on hand and are generally quite healthy. This vegetarian and vegan Chinese-style vegetable stir-fry is low in fat and is quite easy to prepare. Feel free to add some tofu or seitan into the mix as well, and serve over rice if desired.

Ingredients:

  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 slice ginger, minced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 cup broccoli, chopped
  • 1/2 cup sliced water chestnuts (optional)
  • 1/3 cup bamboo shoots
  • 1/2 cup bean sprouts
  • 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1 cup snow peas

Preparation:

Heat the oil in a large skillet, wok or frying pan. Sautee the ginger and garlic for 2-3 minutes.

Carefully add the water, soy sauce and broccoli. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, then add the remaining ingredients.

Stir-fry for another 5 minutes, until vegetables are cooked. Serve over rice if desired and enjoy!

Too much soya sauce!, Guest JediJeff23

Was 1/4 cup of soya sauce a typo? I just made this dish and the vegetables were absolutely black with soya sauce. I was only able to choke down one piece of brocolli and then had to throw out this salty disaster. I wish I had taken a picture to warn away others...
