    Sesame Ginger Vegetable Stir Fry - Healthy and Delicious

    June 21, 2019 by Patti Estep 2 Comments

    Jump to Recipe

    This sesame ginger vegetable stir fry is easy to make without any added sugar, making it a healthy and satisfying dish.

    Sesame ginger stir fry vegetables

    We are lucky enough to have a big family that loves to invite us over for family dinners and get-togethers. I always ask what I can bring to help out.

    Often the answer is "a side dish." I have made several side dish casseroles on this blog. They are great because they are usually large enough to feed a crowd.

    However, recently I was specifically asked to bring a vegetable side dish so I brought this Asian inspired sesame ginger vegetable stir fry.

    Stir fry vegetable in a large pan

    I used freshly grated ginger, garlic and a small amount of sesame oil for great flavor. I also added a nice amount of sesame seeds which taste great and look so nice on the finished dish. 

    This recipe also uses Tamari which is a little less salty than soy sauce but you could use either.

    The one thing I did not add is sugar. Often you find stir fry recipes with a glaze from brown sugar or honey, but I felt that this one did not need it.

    Also, I knew that we have a few low carb lovers in our group so skipping the sugar made everyone happy.

    Snow peas, carrots and sesame seeds

    The majority of the dish is comprised of snow peas. Along with carrots, they add plenty of sweetness, you don't even miss the sugar. I also really love the taste of snow peas in Asian dishes.

    This vegetable stir fry recipe makes enough to fill a large serving dish. Just the right amount to give a small serving to a large group of people.
