Meat, poultry, fish,fruits, and vegetables are great to be stir-fried.Some of the specialty ingredients for a good stir-fry should aslo include soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and chili sauce.High smoking point oil like peanut, safflower, corn, or canola, will also improve your stir-fry. Proper perparation and technique greatly affect your stir-fry too. Check out this link for stir-fry recipes.http://www.recipezaar.com/recipes/stir-fry

you need to use foods that can stand high temperatures and will cook quickly. it works best if your items have similar sizes because then they will cook at even paces. traditional stir fry ingredients are: garlic, ginger, sweet pea pods, broccoli, corn, bak choy, shrimp, thinly sliced beef, red pepper flakes, pork, chicken, cauliflower, soy sauce and some corn starch to help thicken and create a sauce.
and rice will almost never be included in a stir fry..only in fried rice. but in fried rice..people generally add it later on because the rice will tend to stick. Same with noodles depending on what kind. Rice noodles will stick more because they are naturally dry and thinner. Flour and egg noodles may be added in the middle or at the end of the cooking process.

the ingredients are not what's really important in stir frying, its the way they are cut and prepared. things that cook fast should be in larger pieces and slower more dense food need to be cut finer. ie.
cabbage large
carrots small

Celery and carrots for a crunch. Shrimp and cashew nuts for something different. Onions for added flavour. Capsicums for colour.
