One of the first meals I ever made for myself was a vegetable pasta with peanut sauce. I could not cook at all when I first moved out onto my own. Short cuts, like bottled peanut sauce, made my life easier as I gradually learned how to cook.

To this day, I still use bottled peanut sauce. I haven’t even attempted to make my own, yet. For this recipe I used House of Tsang Bangkok Peanut Sauce for the first time and loved it! It has just a touch of spiciness to it!  You can use any peanut sauce that you prefer, or make your own if you have an amazing recipe!

You can swap out any of the vegetables in this recipe for others you might prefer more. I always go for broccoli, carrots, and water chestnuts in any stir fry recipe that I make, but you can use peppers, snap peas, mushrooms, baby corn, or cauliflower, as well!

This meal comes together really quickly. The longest part is chopping up all the vegetables. The actually cooking portion takes less than 10 minutes.  Be sure to have your rice, noodles, or whatever else you’re serving with this vegetable stir fry cooking ahead of time.

Vegetable Stir Fry with Peanut Sauce

Prep!

Prepared Vegetables in a Silver Bowl

The prep work this recipe is basically a bunch of mincing and chopping. You will need to mince the garlic and ginger, then finely chop the shallot. Cut the broccoli, red pepper, and carrot into bite-size pieces. You can also julienne the carrot, if you prefer. Open and drain the water from the water chestnuts, and roughly chop the peanuts.

Create!

Garlic, Ginger, and Shallot Cooking in a Skillet

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic, ginger, and shallot and cook for 2-3 minutes until the shallot starts to become translucent.

Mixed Vegetables Cooking in a Skillet

Add the broccoli, carrot, red pepper, snow peas, and water chestnuts. Cook until crisp-tender, about 3-4 minutes.
