Need ideas for veggies to put in stir fry, tired of broccoli/mushroom combination. I always put onions/garlic/ginger for the base.

What veggies do you guys put in stir fry?

    Snow peas, water chestnuts, carrots (cut small), bell peppers (all colours), bean sprouts, zucchini, and cauliflower. I make stir fry's with as many veggies as I can find in my house and add it some nuts such as cashews.

    snap peas, onions, garlic, broccoli, water chestnuts, baby corn, bell peppers, mushrooms, sometimes I get frozen "stir fry blend" veggies because they keep longer than fresh veggies. I got a really good one at Trader Joes that had shiitake mushrooms in it :)

    Will be buying and making later this week, thanks for the ideas! Does anyone ever use edamame?

    Add a splash of white wine while it is cooking, gives a good flavor
  • If I don't use a frozen stir fry veggie mix I just use carrots, broccoli, onion, and bell peppers.

    Cauliflower and zuchini sound like good additions too, I have those right now!
  • Crumble half an oxo cube over the veg when nearly cooked this adds a no calorie flavour (chicken or vegetable)

    I make stir fry with diced chicken, fresh green beans, mushrooms (fresh if I have them if not canned), water chestnuts, cabbage. Any vegetable you like. Last night I made a stir fry with chicken, cabbage, onion and green pepper, edamame and stif fry sauce. Then decided to put them inside an egg roll wrapper and baked them. They were delish.

    Cabbage, another great idea! Never thought of it before!
  • I like lean turkey, venison and peppers (green, red and yellow), onions, mushrooms (fresh veggies). I put season salt, pepper, lemon pepper, garlic powder and onion powder to add some flavor. I eat this with quinoa as well - delicious!
