Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 2 cups mixed vegetables
  • 1 cup cooked protein (chicken, tofu, or shrimp)
  • 2 cups cooked rice or noodles

Flavoring Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, minced

Cooking Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Warm the olive oil in a spacious skillet over medium heat, ensuring your pan is evenly heated to 350°F.
  2. Toss the 1 teaspoon minced garlic and 1 teaspoon minced ginger directly into the oil, releasing their aromatic flavors for exactly 60 seconds.
  3. Add the 2 cups mixed vegetables to the pan, stirring constantly for 3-4 minutes until they become tender-crisp and retain their vibrant color.
  4. Introduce the 1 cup pre-cooked protein (chicken, tofu, or shrimp) along with 2 tablespoons soy sauce, gently mixing to distribute flavors evenly.
  5. Continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes, bringing the entire mixture to a consistent temperature of 165°F throughout.
  6. Transfer the steaming stir fry over your 2 cups of prepared rice or noodles, creating a complete meal in under 20 minutes.

Notes

  • Prep your ingredients before heating the pan to ensure a smooth, quick cooking process.
  • Choose quick-cooking proteins like shrimp, diced chicken, or tofu for the fastest meal.
  • Fresh, frozen, or pre-chopped vegetables work great, so select whatever saves you time.
  • For a gluten-free version, swap soy sauce with tamari and serve over cauliflower rice.
