Thai Vegetables recipe

These Thai vegetables are super quick and satisfying. They work brilliantly as a side dish but could also be served as a main. Throw in some chicken breast, sliced steak or tofu and you’re onto a crowd-pleaser. You might also like to bulk them out with some more meaty vegetables like mushrooms or aubergine cut thickly. Our Thai vegetables are flavoured with the simple yet superb pairing of garlic and oyster sauce. Don’t be afraid to mix it up a little with other classic combinations like soy, ginger and chilli. Vegetables can be exciting and these Thai vegetables are testament to that fact. If you are searching for different ways to eat veg a stir-fry is a brilliant, time-savvy option. It is also the best way to use up anything you have in the fridge, which might be heading out of date soon. Peppers, carrots, onions – you name it, you can probably stir-fry it! We have used tenderstem broccoli but you could use a normal broccoli. Simply cut it in long sections. You can roughly chop any leftover stalk, its just as delicious as the tree-looking bits.
