About the recipe
This vegan stir fry veggies recipe is a quick, easy and perfect option when you are in the mood for healthy and light food.
It is a low-carb, low-calorie healthy stir fry vegetable recipe in which the vegetables are cooked under steam instead of direct heat. We all know that steam is the best cooking method, as it retains all the nutrients and flavour of the food. Therefore, one gets the complete nutrition of all the veggies without compromising taste.
The addition of corn kernels and pineapple makes these veggies more tempting. Corns provide crunchiness, whereas pineapple gives a sweet and sour unique flavour to the veggies that blend so well with the veggies you can't stop eating.
