Helpful Tips
- To save time, prepare all your vegetables before you start cooking.
- Feel free to substitute any vegetables you have on hand – zucchini, mushrooms, or baby corn work wonderfully in this recipe.
- If you prefer a bit of crunch, add a handful of cashews or sliced almonds during the final minutes of cooking.
Storage Instructions
Store leftover stir-fry in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a pan over medium heat until warmed through, adding a splash of water if the sauce has thickened too much.
