Simple Spring Vegetable Stir Fry

Easy Meatless Monday meal comin’ at ya!

Or just an easy weeknight dinner meal. You know – the one that can take less than 30 minutes and you have yourselves a healthy stir fry dinner.

Stir fry recipes are actually quite healthy when made at home. You get to choose the veggies, protein and the sauce I used here is super simple – mainly pantry ingredients!

Spring Veggie Stir Fry

Vegetable Stir Fry Ingredients

  • spring vegetables – used here are sugar snap peas, asparagus and radishes. Feel free to use carrots, brussels sprouts or broccoli.
  • tempeh, or your choice of protein
  • rice
  • green onions

Vegetable Stir Fry Sauce Ingredients

  • soy sauce, tamari or coconut aminos
  • sesame oil (or another oil)
  • maple syrup (or honey)
  • rice vinegar (or white wine, apple cider)
  • fresh ginger
  • tapioca flour or corn starch (for thickening sauce at the end)

Ways to make this Spring Veggie Stir Fry Your Own

  • Choose whatever seasonal vegetables you have on hand.
  • Make this an easy chicken stir fry recipe by simply marinating chicken in soy sauce and cooking the chicken first, then the vegetables and finishing with the sauce.
  • Use rice noodles, quinoa, riced veggies or even spiralized noodles.

For the protein choice here I used tempeh because… well, no real reason really other than I just really like it! I like chicken stir fry as well but sometimes I just want an all veggie stir fry.

If you’re not familiar with tempeh, it is fermented soy that becomes pressed into a loaf – it’s much easier to cook than tofu and has more texture and flavor to it.

If you haven’t tried tempeh yet, this would be a great recipe to start with. The tempeh gets extra flavorful from marinating in the soy sauce.

Stir fry is the perfect healthy weeknight dinner. And once you have the base recipe down, it’s simple to swap out various vegetables, protein choices and different grain options too.

Or even cauliflower rice. Which I personally do like, but I do not trick myself into thinking it’s actual rice. I just like that I am getting more veggies in.

    Wow, this looks freaking DELICIOUS! Tempeh and tamari seriously belong in almost every stir-fry. Such complementary ingredients can’t be beaten. I love air-frying my tempeh a little bit before integrating the pieces into the vegetable medley. Extra crispiness = the better!
