Chinese Stir Fried Vegetables | Sauteed Vegetables | Low Oil Vegetable Stir Fry

Stir fried vegetable is one of the healthiest option for me when I like to have something light. It can be served with steamed rice or bread toast. Otherwise you can have it without any belongings as your brunch or meal. Sometimes, I serve it with some grilled chicken or fish. As it is very healthy, when I am in diet, its a must have food for me. Here you can use any veggies whatever you like.

My Tip: 

• Vegetable should not be overblanch.
• In this recipe, I have used sesame oil. It gives a nice aroma to the veggies. But if you don't have, you can use any light oil.
• Vegetable should be stir fried at high heat. Its a thumb rule for Chinese cooking.
• Don't cover the wok during the cooking. It will ruin the vegetable crunch. Vegetable should have a firm bite.
• Honey, salt & black pepper can be adjusted as per your taste.
• Here you can use any veggies whatever you like and get.
