Experimenting with vegan stir fry recipes
You can choose any vegetables for a stir fry. Maybe think about what is seasonally available- or focus on making your healthy vegan stir fry as colourful as possible! You can also experiment with texture: are you feeling a vegetable stir fry full of crunchy peppers? Or meaty eggplant? While some recipes use chickpeas as the source of protein in a vegan stir fry, vegan tofu stir fries also feature heavily. This is because vegan stir fries are where tofu really comes into its own! Tofu is Asian in origin – the first records of tofu making are from 2000 years ago in China. It was and still is a staple protein source in the vegetarian diets of buddhist monks. It makes sense then, that lots of vegan asian recipes use tofu! For your carbohydrates, most vegan stir fry recipes can be eaten with rice or noodles. We have also included some vegan fried rice recipes, a tasty way to use up left-over rice! Any vegan noodle stir fry can be made gluten-free by switching out wheat noodles for rice noodles or soba noodles.
