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 :)

    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.

    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!
