The good thing about stir-fry, is that anything goes.
So just pick the things you do like & throw them in.
Order is important for cooking time:
Oil, onion, garlic, then any cut-up meat or fish, & set aside.
Try snow peas in the pods, bok-choy leaves & all, or celery.
Baby carrots or sliced carrots, sweet or hot peppers,
water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, mushrooms, etc.
When veggies are hot, make a well & return the meat/fish.
Add as much as 1/2 cup of water with 1 tbsp cornstarch.
Soy sauce for colouring & flavour.

Stir fry is not just about taste but also color and appeal. Your recipe is good, just a little bland. Add some red sweet pepper strips (I see you already have one hot, but you can use more color) and half a stalk of sliced celery. Bring all the flavors together by adding chicken broth and cornstarch mixture. This will add that shine we always see in Chinese foods. Always cook your aromatics first, garlic and onions (ginger, green onions, leeks). Cut your chicken into thin strips for fast cooking and cut the vegetables the same size for even cooking. Always cook on high heat using a heavy bottom pan, cook fast and never let the dish sit in the cooking vessel after it is done, it will overcook. Plate it immediately and serve. For some authentic taste, use some oyster sauce with your soy sauce.

Hey, you can pretty much stir fry anything you like! Say you have leftover grilled chicken, steak, whatever. Next day, slice long and thin. Grab the available veggies, certainly with onion too in most cases, saute the veggies and throw in the meat. Stir fry together with complimentary spices, whether it is garlic, a bit of butter or olive oil, whatever works with the choices of leftovers or food. This really helps use up leftovers as well, and don't be afraid to throw eggs into it as well and add a little low-salt soy sauce. I think salt is the killer for my acid reflux.

Cook white rice. Chill Rice. Sautee in a bit of oil onions, diced garlic on medium high heat, add fresh shrimp, cooked chicken, thin slices of beef, or the good ol' ground browned/drained beef. Stir in fresh snap green beans and a dash of soy sauce and stir until beans are a pretty green. Lower heat to keep warm while rice heats. In a separate pan fry chilled rice in a bit of oil over medium high heat and plate once rice is hot. Serve Meat over Rice. MMMMMM

Will depend on on the context really. Which is better as a snack - fresh fruit personally. It's tastier and gives you that little of sweetness. Which can be better as a snack if you are trying hard to minimize back on sugar and lose weight vegetables
