CHINESE VEGETABLE STIR FRY
My daughter found this on ABCNEWS.com and has made it several times now. Sometimes we are missing an ingredient the recipe calls for so we just add something different. We use a 4 ounce can of sliced mushrooms instead of the shitake. We also use frozen broccoli and snow peas to speed this recipe up.

Steps:
- Combine all ingredients in a large glass jar with a lid.

- Can store in fridge up to 2 weeks.

- To use sauce: stir fry your vegetables and meat as desired, add appropriate amount of sauce, bring to a boil, boil for 1 minute or until slightly thickened.
- Serve.
Tips:
- Prep your vegetables in advance: Cut and wash your vegetables ahead of time to save time during the stir-fry process.
- Use a well-seasoned wok or large skillet: A well-seasoned wok or large skillet will help prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Heat your wok or skillet over high heat: This will help create a nice sear on the vegetables and prevent them from becoming soggy.
- Add your vegetables in batches: Don't overcrowd the wok or skillet, or the vegetables will steam instead of stir-fry.
- Stir-fry the vegetables for a short time: Overcooking will make the vegetables mushy. Aim to cook them until they are tender-crisp, about 2-3 minutes.
- Use a flavorful sauce: A good stir-fry sauce will add a lot of flavor to the dish. You can use a store-bought sauce or make your own.
- Serve immediately: Stir-fries are best served immediately, while they are still hot and crispy.
