Notes
Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Don't overcook the vegetables; they should remain a bit crisp. You can easily add your favorite veggies like bell peppers or sugar snap peas. Experiment with spices to personalize the flavor profile of your stir fry. Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
