How people cook with it
Stir fry vegetables are a versatile ingredient that can be used in a wide range of quick and easy meals.
- Quick weeknight dinners
- Healthy side dishes
- Additions to fried rice

To cook, heat a tablespoon of oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the stir fry vegetables and cook, stirring frequently, for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp. You can add your favorite stir fry sauce, soy sauce, or seasonings during the last few minutes of cooking. These vegetables are also great added to soups, stews, or casseroles towards the end of their cooking time to add freshness and texture. They can also be steamed or roasted.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike whole vegetables, this mix is already prepared, saving you the time and effort of washing, peeling, and chopping. The variety of vegetables in the mix offers a balanced flavor and texture profile that might be difficult to achieve with individual selections. The uniform cut size ensures even cooking.

How to keep the rest
After opening, store any unused portion in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator. It is best to use the remaining vegetables within a few days to maintain their freshness and crispness. Avoid letting them sit in excess moisture.
