Tips for Vegetarian Stirfry

  • Cut vegetables into similarly sized pieces so they soften at roughly the same pace.
  • A wide skillet helps the vegetables cook evenly; crowding can leave them soft rather than lightly browned.
  • The vegetables should look glossy and tender, with any broth mostly absorbed; keep an eye on the pan near the end.

Drink pairing

A dry, crisp rosé
Its refreshing acidity complements the savory vegetables and balances the chili's gentle heat.

Storage

Frequently asked questions

How can I tell when the vegetables are done?

They should be tender when pierced but still hold their shape, rather than turning mushy.

Can I make this ahead?

It is best freshly cooked for the firmest texture. You can chop the vegetables ahead and keep them covered in the refrigerator.

What can I serve with this stir-fry?

Serve it over rice or noodles, or alongside another simple grain for a more substantial meal.
