Grow Your Own Stir-fry Garden with All-Amercia Selections

Grow A Stir-fry Garden

Want to eat healthier? One way is to stir-fry. Stir-fry is the technique of cooking food quickly, using only a small amount of fat. One of the great parts about stir-frying is there are so many different vegetables to add. Growing your own vegetables in your garden is a fun and delicious way to create your own stir-fry.

The following AAS Winners are the perfect ingredients to add to any stir-fry recipe. All you need is a full-sun location and fertile loose soil. You can grow most of these varieties in containers or in-ground, depending on your garden space and needs.

The fun of Stir-fry is you can add all or just some of these vegetables to make your own scrumptious meal!

Asian Greens:

Pak Choi Asian Delight AAS Winner

Pak Choi Asian Delight F1

Asian Delight F1 Pak Choi (or Bok Choy) is a Chinese Cabbage that is a must in your stir-fry garden! Asian Delight forms small to mid-size (5-7 inch) heads that have a tasty, tender white rib and dark green, textured leaves. One judge seeded his trial three times and all three times Asian Delight did not bolt whereas the comparisons did.

Mizuna Red Kingdom - All-America Selections has never had a mizuna (Japanese mustard) as a winner, much less a beautifully colored variety.

Mizuna Red Kingdom F1

All-America Selections has never had mizuna (Japanese mustard) as a winner, much less a beautifully colored variety. Red Kingdom is a great addition to your stir-fry garden. This flavorful, mild-tasting green is an edible that grows well as an ornamental in containers or in the landscape.

Onion Super Star F1

Super Star is a white sweet onion recommended for all spring gardens in North America because it is day-length neutral. Most other onions require long days or short days to bulb. Resistant to pink root, Super Star onions are exceptional when eaten raw or cooked.

Sweet Peppers:

Dragonfly pepper plants produce beautiful purple peppers that have thick, sweet walls, perfect to add to stir-fry.  This pepper transforms itself from a green pepper into a purple fruit and is delicious at the green stage of maturity as it is when fully purple and mature.

Pepper Just Sweet F1

Pepper Carmen F1

Sweet Pepper Carmen is an Italian bull’s horn type which refers to its elongated shape, about 6 inches long. The medium-thick flesh is the sweetest when it is ripe red, but Carmen peppers are sweet even when immature or green.

Broccoli, Carrot and Radish:

Broccoli Artwork is a unique and beautiful dark green stem broccoli that has only recently become available to home gardeners.

Broccoli Artwork F1

Artwork is a unique and beautiful dark green stem broccoli.  It starts out similar to a regular crown broccoli but after harvesting that first crown, easy-to-harvest tender, and tasty side shoots continue to appear long into the season, resisting warm temperature bolting.

Basil Persian

Persian Basil is a large, vigorous plant that is a prolific producer of pleasant-tasting leaves. Not only is the taste excellent, but the green foliage, sturdy branches, and large leaves make for a great ornamental plant.
