This is a simple and easy vegetable stir fry recipe. It is a quick one too. You can make this stir fried vegetable recipe in minutes.

vegetable stir fry is healthy as you retain all the goodness of the vegetables by cooking them for a short time.

That is, you do not overcook them and lose the nutrients such as the vitamins. The vegetables taste great too.

Once you know the vegetable stir fry recipe, you can make your own variations too. Add the vegetables you like or have in your pantry or omit the vegetables that you don't like or don't have.

For this stir fry recipe, you can use a mixture of your favorite vegetables such as onions, beans, carrots, peas, capsicum, cabbage, cauliflower, brocoli, zucini, bel peppers of different colors, egg plant etc.

Cut all the vegetables in bite size pieces. Cut them of the same size too.
The dish looks very inviting too with all those colorful vegetables.

You do not need all the above mentioned vegetables every time. You can use 3-4 of them at a time. I like to use cabbage, onions, carrots and capsicums and that is what I am using in the recipe below.
