What are the main vegetables used in stir-fry recipes?
The most common vegetables used in stir-fry recipes are ones that cook quickly and keep some crunch:
- Bell peppers (red, green, yellow)
- Broccoli
- Carrots
- Snow peas or snap peas
- Onions (yellow, white, or green)
- Mushrooms
- Zucchini
- Cabbage (green or Napa)
- Baby corn
- Water chestnuts
- Bok choy
- Bean sprouts
Most stir-fries mix 3–5 of these for balance—something crunchy, something sweet, and something tender. If you want, I can suggest a classic combo or tailor one to a specific cuisine (Chinese-style, Thai, veggie-only, etc.).
