GINGER VEGGIE STIR-FRY
I just whipped this up one day when I felt like a stir-fry but did not have all the ingredients called for in some of the stir-fry recipes on this site. I used certain veggies I had on hand, but any seasonal veggies may be used. It has a mild ginger flavor that can be enhanced according to taste, and is filling yet light on the tummy! Tofu may be added. Serve over a bed of steamed jasmine rice.

PRAWN AND SUGAR SNAP PEA STIR-FRY
This is a very easy and quick dish to cook. I saw something similar on the TV some time ago, and just adapted it to ingredients I had to hand. It has turned out wonderful, full of flavour and enhanced, but not overpowered, with the chilli heat. Other Oils can be used if either is not to hand, and the same goes for the prawns, as other meats, such as crab meat, etc, can be used. Try as is, or doctor to your own tastes. Enjoy!

Tips:
- Prep Your Ingredients: Before you start cooking, make sure all your ingredients are prepped and ready to go. This will help the cooking process go smoothly and quickly.
- Use High-Quality Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste of your stir-fry. Use fresh, crisp sugar snap peas and high-quality ginger.
- Don't Overcrowd the Pan: When stir-frying, it's important not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the vegetables from cooking evenly and will make them more likely to steam rather than fry.
- Cook in Batches: If you have a lot of vegetables to stir-fry, cook them in batches. This will help to ensure that they cook evenly.
- Use a Wok or Large Skillet: A wok or large skillet is the best cookware for stir-frying. This will allow you to easily toss and stir the vegetables.
- Keep the Stir-Fry Moving: When stir-frying, keep the vegetables moving constantly. This will help to prevent them from sticking to the pan and will ensure that they cook evenly.
- Add Sauce at the End: Add the sauce to the stir-fry at the very end of the cooking process. This will help to preserve the flavor and texture of the vegetables.
Conclusion:
Stir-fries are a quick, easy, and healthy way to get your fill of vegetables. The combination of fresh, crisp sugar snap peas and aromatic ginger makes this stir-fry a flavorful and satisfying dish. Serve it over rice or noodles, or simply enjoy it on its own. With a little practice, you'll be able to make a delicious stir-fry that your whole family will love.
