About Wok vegetables

Wok vegetables are typically a combination of quick-cooking, nutrient-rich vegetables such as broccoli, bell peppers, onions, carrots, snap peas, and mushrooms, widely used in Asian-inspired dishes prepared in a wok. This cooking method originated in China and is valued for its ability to retain nutrients while enhancing flavor through high-heat stir-frying. Wok vegetables are low in calories, high in dietary fiber, and rich in essential vitamins, including vitamin C, vitamin A, and folate. They also provide minerals like potassium and antioxidants such as beta-carotene and lutein, making them an excellent choice for a nutritious, balanced meal.
