This Simple Noodle Vegetable Stir Fry is a quick and easy dish with endless options. I used baby Bok Choy, Portobello mushrooms, onion, garlic, and baby corn. You can use any veggie you like or have on-hand. I also added cashews.

Serve with rice or noodles
Sometimes, I serve stir-fries like this one over rice and sometimes noodles.
The rice options I usually choose are jasmine or brown jasmine. Since my husband is not as big of a brown rice fan as I am, we like to make a mixture of both in the rice steamer.
The two types of rice cook well together–1 cup white jasmine + 1 cup brown jasmine.

Rice steamer just makes life easier
My rice steamer is a necessity in the kitchen and is used at least once a week. Not only do we make rice, but also bulgur and quinoa in ours.
What I like about it the most is that all I have to do is add water and walk away–no stirring or watching required. I can go walk the dog or do the laundry.
When it’s completely cooked, the steamer automatically switches to Keep Warm and will be ready to eat whenever we are.
The recipe card at the bottom of the page has the full list of ingredients with measurements and instructions.
Nutrition in brown rice
Brown rice gives you small amounts of thiamin, riboflavin, vitamin B-6, folate and niacin.
These B vitamins tend to work hand-in-hand to pull energy from the foods you eat, while supporting brain processes and blood-cell formation.
You’ll also get magnesium, phosphorus and a little calcium, to keep your bones strong; in addition to potassium and a minimal amount of sodium, for fluid balance and heart functions.–LiveStrong

Other add-in options for this recipe would be Napa Asian cabbage, water chestnuts, green onion, red-yellow-green bell peppers, little bamboo slices, etc. Options are endless!

I am often asked which knives I use personally, and I have to say that it is Victorinox. They are the same company that makes Swiss Army Knives and the quality is excellent.

I made this tonight for dinner, loved the sauce! I added a few different veggies, but basically it was the same. The sauce makes it perfect, thanks for the recipe. I love this site I have made a few of your recipes , especially the black bean burgers, one of my favorites.
