Helpful Tips
For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a splash of lime juice or a drizzle of hot sauce. If you’re new to stir-frying, ensure all your ingredients are prepped and ready, as stir-frying is a quick process. For variations, substitute the veggies with whatever you have on hand – mushrooms, zucchini, or carrots work beautifully.
Storage Instructions
Store leftover stir-fry in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through.
Pairing Suggestions
