Oh how I love a stir fry. This Quick & Easy Veggie Stir Fry is the perfect lunch or mid week meal. Stir fries are so great for packing in nutrients and flavour. What I love too is that you can include almost any veggies. So it’s a super versatile meal and also a great way of using up little bits of fresh veg you might have leftover in the fridge.
This Quick & Easy Veggie Stir Fry is literally quick and easy. A little bit of prep and only a few minutes to cook. To bulk it up for a family meal, add noodles or rice or if you’re a meat eater, you can add that too. Feel free to play around and make it your own.
