As society becomes more fast-paced, people are more inclined to fast food. If you can get fast food in 5 minutes, then few people will spend 15 minutes cooking a dish. In instant food, there are food additives and fats that are unhealthy if you consume them for a long time. If there was a healthy recipe with a very short cooking time, would you want to try it? This vegetable stir-fry is very simple and fast to cook.
The recipe I’m bringing to you today is very simple, it doesn’t use a lot of seasonings. The ingredients in the recipe are very common, and it’s healthy. Carrots, corn, and green peppers are rich in vitamins. This recipe is suitable for everyone who is looking for a healthy diet. It is more suitable than fast food for every child who needs a healthy diet. If you are planning a Chinese dinner party, this vegetable stir-fry makes an excellent, quick side dish. Simply prepare and blanch the vegetables, set them aside, and do the final stir-fry after cooking your main dish.
You can save time if you purchase a frozen vegetable mix. Just skip the blanching but let the vegetables thaw completely before stir-frying. However, if you have a local farmers market, or your own garden, the extra few minutes required for preparation are worth it for the flavor and nutrition in fresh ingredients.

Notes
- When we blanch vegetables, the vegetables must be added when the water is boiling, so that the color of the vegetables can be maintained.
- If you don’t like green peppers, you can feel free to mix and match them with your favorite ingredients.
- You can blanch the vegetables in a wok, but do not use your seasoned stir-fry wok. The boiling water will strip the seasoning.
