Ingredients

  • 2 cups mixed vegetables (bell peppers, broccoli, carrots, snap peas)

  • 1 pound protein of choice (chicken, beef, tofu, shrimp)

  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce

  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 teaspoon ginger, minced

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • Cooked rice or noodles for serving

  • Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

  • Chopped green onions for garnish (optional)

Directions

  • Prep the Ingredients: Pre-chop the veggies and protein. Store them in separate containers or bags until ready to cook.
  • Heat the Skillet: Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add sesame oil.
  • Cook the Protein: Add the pre-chopped protein to the skillet and stir-fry until cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Add Veggies: Toss in the mixed vegetables, garlic, and ginger. Stir-fry for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until veggies are tender-crisp.
  • Season: Pour in the soy sauce, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir well to combine.
  • Serve: Serve the stir-fry over cooked rice or noodles, garnished with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired.

Key Prep Tips

  1. Pre-Cut Ingredients: Chop vegetables like bell peppers, broccoli, carrots, and snap peas into uniform sizes for even cooking.
  2. Marinate Proteins: Pre-marinate chicken, beef, shrimp, or tofu in soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and a splash of sesame oil for maximum flavor.
  3. Use High Heat: Cook over medium-high to high heat to achieve a nice sear and retain the crunch of the vegetables.
  4. Prepare Sauce Ahead: Mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, or hoisin sauce with a cornstarch slurry for a thick and flavorful stir-fry sauce.

Suggested Variations

  • Grain Options: Serve over jasmine rice, brown rice, or noodles for a complete meal.
  • Spice It Up: Add chili oil, Sriracha, or red pepper flakes for heat.
  • Vegetarian Option: Use firm tofu or tempeh and a plant-based sauce for a meat-free alternative.
  • Herbal Boost: Garnish with fresh cilantro, Thai basil, or green onions for a fragrant finish.

Serving Suggestions

  • As a Main Dish: Pair with steamed rice or noodles for a well-rounded dinner.
  • For Meal Prep: Divide into containers for quick lunches or dinners throughout the week.
  • Beverages: Complement with green tea, sparkling water, or a light white wine like Sauvignon Blanc.
  • Presentation: Serve in a shallow bowl with sesame seeds and a lime wedge for an elegant touch.
