When it comes to preparing a Chinese meal, a vegetable stir fry is a must-have dish. Vegetable stir fries can be elaborate but the ones cooked daily for lunch or dinner are often super quick and easy to prepare. They usually take no more than 30 minutes to prepare.

Ingredients for Stir Fry

Almost any kind of vegetables may be used for a stir fry. Some families prefer their stir fries totally vegan while others like to add seafood or meat to give it more flavor and texture. I do it both ways depending on the vegetable and ingredients on hand.

Homegrown Vegetables

Harvesting cauliflower after 2½ months

You may have read that in August I harvested 6 heads of cauliflower from my Raised-Bed Vegetable Garden. This Cauliflower Shrimp Stir Fry was the dish I cooked that very same day. I also harvested 2 onions and some basil leaves to make the stir fry more colorful and flavorful.

Since the produce were super fresh, I kept the seasonings to a minimum just so we can taste the sweetness of the vegetables. The basil leaves were used more like a garnish but it did lend a fresh taste to the stir fry.

Serving Suggestion for Cauliflower Shrimp Stir Fry

That evening we enjoyed a simple dinner of brown rice, Kong Tau Yew Bak (Braised Pork in Soy Sauce), and this stir fry. It was really tasty and everyone wished that there was more of this stir fry. The super fresh cauliflower and onions were so mild tasting and crunchy. It was a pity our homegrown carrots were not ready for harvesting at that time or I would have pulled out some for this stir fry.
