Especially when its a one pan meal! You can use a wok if  you have one, a large saute pan, or a sauteuse like I did to cook  up some deliciousness creating your easy stir fry dish.

Serve your stir fry over rice, Asian noodles, your favorite grain or simply eat it as it is, fresh and healthy full of delicious crisp vegetables!
