SARAH'S EASY VEGETABLE STIR-FRY
This is a Chinese-style stir-fry with a brown sauce. You can use any combination of your favorite vegetables. The sauce can be made ahead of time, so you can easily just stir-fry the veggies and add in the sauce. Add chicken, beef, or (my favorite) fried tofu. This recipe is easily adaptable to use your favorite vegetables - just chop enough to completely fill your large skillet. Garnish with chow mein noodles.

EASY STIR-FRIED CHICKEN AND VEGETABLES
This is a recipe that I made frequently on days that I had off from school and/ or work. I used it because it was quick and easy to prepare, cook, and enjoy. If prepared right, it is also good for people trying to watch their weight. I know it was for me. I came up with it just by finding what i had in my freezer and throwing it all together... The cooking time says 10 minutes, but i think it should take less than that. It should take in between 5 and 10 minutes. And for the vegetables, you can get single bags of frozen vegetables (I used broccoli stir-fry) in a grocery store near you.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and prevent scrambling during the cooking process.
- Use fresh, high-quality vegetables: The fresher your vegetables, the better they will taste. If possible, buy organic vegetables to avoid pesticides and herbicides.
- Cut your vegetables evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If you are using different types of vegetables, cut them into similar-sized pieces.
- Use a large wok or skillet: This will give you plenty of room to stir-fry your vegetables without overcrowding them.
- Heat your wok or skillet over high heat: This will help to create a nice sear on your vegetables and prevent them from becoming soggy.
- Add your vegetables to the wok or skillet in batches: This will prevent them from overcrowding and steaming instead of stir-frying.
- Stir-fry your vegetables quickly: Stir-fried vegetables should be cooked quickly over high heat. This will help them retain their crispness and flavor.
- Season your vegetables to taste: You can use a variety of seasonings to flavor your stir-fried vegetables, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, ginger powder, and soy sauce.
- Serve your stir-fried vegetables immediately: Stir-fried vegetables are best served hot and fresh. You can serve them as a side dish or main course.
Conclusion:
Stir-fried vegetables are a healthy, delicious, and versatile dish. They are quick and easy to make, and they can be customized to your liking. With a little practice, you can master the art of stir-frying and create delicious meals that the whole family will enjoy.
