Subject: What do you like in YOUR stir fry.
I love stir fry.  It's easy, fast, and healthy.  I can make a batch on Sunday and it can last me nearly the entire week.  Usually, I eat it straight or on brown rice.

Likes :

Chicken
Red Peppers
Bean Sprouts
Squash
Mushrooms
Onions
Fresh Spinach - don't knock it until you try it.

Dislikes:

Broccoli - I like steamed and raw broccoli.  Can't stand it in stir fry.
Cauliflower - Broccoli's albino cousin.
Tofu - Seriously, WHO STIR FRIES TOFU?? The Miso Soup is ->
Asparagus - just doesn't seem to cook right.
Baby Carrots
Anything Mooshy.

What do you like in your stir fry?

haha I LOVE tofu in my stirfry! The key is knowing how to properly prepare it. Otherwise it can be kinda nasty.

Really just about any veggies I can get my hands on. Staples are:

Red onion
Green and red peppers
Mushrooms
Broccoli
Carrots
Zucchini
Cherry Tomatoes
TOFU

I love to add a tiny bit of Hoisen sauce and Thai Garlic Chili Paste at the end. A touch of Sesame Oil also gives it a really nice flavor.

MMM stir fry is simply the best. Lately mine has become more of a chili.

Ground Chicken
green pepper
onion
tomato
jalapeno
black beans
(and the secret ingredient, mustard seed, boy do i love some mustard)

ETA* I hate mushrooms, cant stand the odd texture.

Ginger. Lots and lots of ginger.

Favorite stir-fry mix-ins:

- green beans
- sliced bell pepper
- onion
- water chestnuts
- baby bok choy (white parts early on, green parts just before turning off the heat)
- bean sprouts
- cabbage

Seriously, the cabbage is my new favorite thing for stir-fries. Highest heat (obviously), lots of ginger and a bit of soy sauce, maybe some chili-garlic sauce. The cabbage softens (but doesn't go mushy), and it turns pleasantly sweet. With brown rice, it's one of my favorite easy meals.

Stir fries (and curries) are my go-to clean out the fridge meals.

So, I put anything in them. Can't really think of anything I haven't stir fried!

Jalapenos?  I love Jalapenos.  I'll have to try that.  How do you cut them or do you stir fry them whole?

I shouldn't have read this thread.  I'm starving now, and all I have is this Clif bar to destroy.

Like: peppers, onion, broccali, zuchinni, corn, carrots, edadame, sometimes cauliflower

Trader Joe's has a REAL good teriaki simmer sauce...I'll marinade the veggies in it for a bit and it is YUMMY!
