Cultural or Cooking Technique Note

Stir-frying is a classic Asian cooking method that allows ingredients to cook quickly over high heat while retaining their colors and textures. This technique highlights the natural flavors of the ingredients and is perfect for creating a quick, wholesome meal.

Serving Suggestions

1. Over fluffy brown or white rice for a filling meal.
2. Tossed with your favorite noodles for a hearty dish.
3. Inside a wrap for a handheld treat that’s great for lunch.
4. Chopped and added to a fresh salad for a crunchy twist.

Pro Tips for Success

• Keep your heat at medium-high to get a nice sear on the vegetables.
• Chop your veggies uniformly for even cooking.
• Don’t overcrowd the pan; stir-frying works best in batches if needed.
• Add a splash of water if the stir fry starts to stick to the pan.

Storage & Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze it for up to a month. When ready to enjoy, reheat in a skillet over low heat to retain the vibrant texture, or use the microwave for a quick fix.
