You guys know I am all about the quick, easy, and healthy meals, right? Well, this recipe for vegetarian stir fry is definitely a winner. It took me just 5 minutes to make. For real! I actually timed myself. Well, technically, I timed Quinn’s nap and he slept for 6 minutes (this kid does not sleep during the day), and I finished cooking the whole meal in that amount of time. Anyway, here is a delicious, nutritious, and satisfying recipe for you! Enjoy!
Ingredients:
- 1 16-ounce bag of frozen stir fry veggies
- 1 cup chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup frozen shelled edamame
- rice (I used boil-in-bag brown rice)
- soy sauce
- extra virgin olive oil
Directions:
Cook rice as directed. Meanwhile, in a large pan on the stove top, add 1 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil, stir fry veggies, edamame, chickpeas, and as much soy sauce as you like. Cook until veggies are warm and no longer frozen.
Add veggies to rice and eat!
Makes 4 servings

This is totally my kind of recipe! Veggies and chickpeas, easy, quick, and delicious!
Stir-fry is such a great, quick meal that always hits the spot. One of my favorite additions is spice (ginger or cumin) and sometimes I throw in some pineapple or mango for a fun twist.
What a fabulous meatless Monday meal!

Awesome! We have no meat and I don’t want to go to the grocery store tonight! 😉 But I do have beans and rice and all that goodness. THANKS!

I just love veg stir fry. I prepare it with all sort of vegetables at home, specially considering green, red and yellow bell peppers, baby corn, broccoli and some times a little bit of cottage cheese. You have instigated me to do one more adventure with chick peas and next I will try with additional sprouts. Thank you
