Who doesn’t love a fresh stir-fry for dinner?
This recipe is incredibly easy and versatile. You can add any kind of veges, meat, or tofu. The sauce is so incredibly flavorful that I find myself slopping it up with my jasmine rice mmm kind of like those hawaiian bowls you can get in the freezer department but OOOH SO MUCH BETTER!
I usually saute bite sized chicken breast chunks in sesame oil with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Then saute carrots, bell pepper, mushrooms, white onion, and green onion. If I have water chestnuts I throw them in.
It is also amazing with beef, onions, peppers, and broccoli…again its all up to you and what you prefer!
