Packed with colorful vegetables and a mouth-watering combination of flavors, this recipe is perfect for vegans, vegetarians, and anyone looking to add more plant-based goodness to their diet.


 The Ultimate Veggie Medley:


One of the best things about a veg stir-fry is the endless possibilities of vegetables you can use. From crunchy bell peppers to nutrient-rich broccoli and vibrant carrots, you can mix and match to create your own veggie medley. This recipe allows you to experiment with various combinations, making it an excellent way to use up any veggies in your fridge.


  Ingredients:


- Assorted vegetables of your choice (e.g., bell peppers, broccoli, carrots, snow peas, etc.)

- Garlic cloves (minced)

- Fresh ginger (grated)

- Soy sauce (preferably low-sodium)

- Sesame oil

- High-smoke-point oil (e.g., canola or peanut oil)

- Steamed rice or noodles for serving (optional)


Please note that the specific amounts of each ingredient will depend on the number of servings and your personal taste preferences. Feel free to adjust the quantities accordingly.


To enhance the flavors and textures of your veg stir-fry, it's essential to include a few key ingredients:


1. Garlic and Ginger - Aromatic garlic and ginger are the foundation of many Asian-inspired dishes, including stir-fries. Their delicate flavors add a zing to your recipe, creating a perfect balance with the vegetables.


2. Soy Sauce - This umami-rich sauce adds a depth of flavor to your stir-fry. Opt for low-sodium varieties to keep it healthy.


3. Sesame Oil- Just a drizzle of sesame oil can take your stir-fry to another level. Its distinct flavor lends a delightful nuttiness and aroma to your dish.


 Cooking up a Storm:


Now that you have your ingredients ready, it's time to whip up your veg stir-fry:


1. Preparation: Start by washing and chopping your vegetables into bite-sized pieces. This step ensures even cooking and easy eating.


2. Heat the Pan: Take a large pan or wok and heat it over medium-high heat. Once hot, add a tablespoon of oil, preferably a high-smoke-point oil like canola or peanut oil.


3. Infusing Flavor: Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the hot oil, giving it a quick stir until fragrant. Be careful not to burn them!


4. Vibrant Vegetables: Begin adding the vegetables that take longer to cook, such as carrots or bell peppers, stirring them for a couple of minutes until they start to soften.


5. Finishing Touches: Now, add the remaining vegetables, like broccoli or snow peas. Stir-fry for another few minutes until all the vegetables are tender yet still retain their vibrant colors and a bit of crunch.


6. Sauce it Up: Pour in a mixture of soy sauce and a touch of sesame oil, coating the vegetables evenly. Toss the veggies gently to ensure every piece absorbs the flavors.


7. Ready to Serve:Remove the pan from the heat, and your veg stir-fry is ready to be devoured. Serve it over a bed of steamed rice or noodles for a satisfying and complete meal.


# Health Benefits of Veg Stir-Fry:

 Pickling is a combination of excellent preservation techniques and fine ingredients.The pickles my mom prepared in my childhood days were so numerous. The word kaya avakaya, literally meaning stuffed mango pickle.I learn the pickling process of mango pickle from my mother and sister who  are experts in our family. 

The stuffed mango pickle is known as  Kaya avakaya/  గుత్తి మామిడి ఆవకాయ , dried mango stuffed pickle(ఎండు ఆవకాయ ) too. Mango cutting is avakai's key step, and it can be done in all markets during mango season.

 One of my favorite traditional foods which is rarely made these days is kaya avakaya pickle. Pickle remains good until the following mango season. There is also an addition of jaggery to this pickle in some regions. You can add jaggery to this pickle by powdering it and mixing with the masala.
