This simple mixed vegetable stir-fry is packed with potatoes, carrots, green beans, mushrooms, and a touch of chili for gentle heat. It is a budget-friendly, colorful side or light main dish that comes together quickly on the stovetop.
Heat a pan over medium heat. Add the diced onion and stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes until softened. Add the potato strips, carrot strips, and French beans, then season with salt and black pepper.



Pour in a small splash of water, cover, and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes begin to soften. Add the red chili and button mushrooms, then stir in the flour mixed with water to lightly thicken the sauce.

Continue cooking uncovered for 4 to 6 minutes until all the vegetables are tender and the sauce lightly coats them. Taste and adjust the salt and pepper before serving hot.
Cut the potatoes into thin, even strips so they cook at the same rate as the other vegetables. If you want a richer stir-fry, cook the vegetables in a little oil before adding water. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
