Prep:15minCook:15min

The key to making stir fry stress free is prepping all the veggies before you even consider lighting a burner. The cooking happens fast (which is kind of the point right?) Having everything at the ready ensures the perfect cook on each element. This is the perfect place to add a protein of your choice. Just about anything goes, just precook it and add it back in at the end to heat through.
