If you don't have the storebought veggie mix, you can also slice fresh vegetables on your own to make the mixed vegetables for stir fry.

The texture of the stir fry vegetables is crunchy and the taste is delicious which is slightly tangy and sweet if you use brown sugar which is optional.

If you like it spicy, also use the red chilies mentioned in the ingredients (optional) or you may add a teaspoon of red chili flakes or hot sauce, paprika or even black pepper powder based on your preference.

And most importantly, make sure to use the best quality ingredients whether you use store bought or homemade ingredients.

In this recipe, we use frozen vegetable mix which is more easy and convenient to use, but you can also fresh veggies instead.

Also, we add the ingredients necessary for stir fry sauce in this recipe, but if you have homemade or store bought stir fry sauce ready to use, you can use that in the recipe to make things even more easier!

Tips to make best vegetable stir fry using frozen vegetables

frozen vegetable stir fry

If you make the stir fry on stove top using frozen vegetables, it is important to follow the recipe instructions to avoid getting mushy vegetables.

We don't want over cooked vegetables in vegetable stir fry which is too soft in texture.

The perfect vegetable stir fry has cooked but crunchy vegetables and has great flavors.

The best vegetable stir fry using frozen (or fresh) veggies is crunchy in texture and has a delicious, slightly sweet and tangy flavor.

If you don't use the brown sugar if you want to keep it low sugar, you may not get the sweet flavor for the veggies but it's still delicious with other flavors from the ingredients that we use.

If you like spicy flavors, I highly recommend using red chili flakes or chilies or another ingredient like paprika or black pepper or hot sauce based on your preference to add that extra spicy flavor.

However, if you are making for kids, you can skip any spicy ingredients.

Also add crunchy cashews that is toasted in the skillet along with the veggies make the stir fry even more delicious but you can skip it if you want to keep the stir fry nut free.

So here is how you can make vegetable stir fry using frozen veggies!
