More About This Recipe

  • Forget those bags of stir-fry mix in your grocer’s freezer case. You can make it better yourself and still have dinner done in less than 30 minutes. The key to this recipe is to prep your veggies first. Stir-fry is a quick cooking technique that uses high heat, so it’s important to have your ingredients chopped and ready to go.
