This recipe contains my go-to stir fry sauce. All I ever have to do is pick out whatever protein and vegetables I want and use this sauce to stir fry everything up and I can have a great dinner on the table in minutes. Okay…maybe not minutes…but in less than half an hour. Enjoy!
Before I cook, I always need to mise en place everything. And it becomes even more important when you’re about to cook up a stir fry.
What I love about stir frying is that after you’ve prepped everything, the cooking part moves fast and I can have dinner on the table in less than fifteen minutes!
