No Chinese meal is complete without vegetables! And, this Stir Fry Seasoning for Chinese Stir Fry Vegetables is great for not only vegetables but just about any stir fry.
As I have said before, my family really likes Chinese stir fry recipes. In fact, I don't think I have tried one yet that was not well received!
I started stir frying while we lived in Switzerland after being encouraged by a Chinese American friend.
She prepared an 8 course meal for our family (at that time we only had 6 children) and everyone loved it!
I was amazed at how she was able to seamlessly put together a meal containing vegetables that everyone loved. It's like the superpower with Chinese cuisine!
So began my adventure in Chinese cooking.
The first stir fry recipe I tried was Chinese Chicken with Walnuts and since it was a hit, I was encouraged to continue the adventure.
Should I Use Fresh Or Frozen Vegetables?
With all Chinese meals, vegetables make a great side dish.
While I normally use frozen vegetables for the convenience, you can choose to use fresh or frozen vegetables - it is up to you.
Frozen vegetables are often more economical than fresh but either work well.
With frozen vegetables, you can purchase either the stir fry mixed vegetables or buy the individually frozen vegetables and make your own mix.
