Easy Stir Fry Recipe

To make an easy stir fry recipe you can buy the frozen package of stir fry vegetables and you'll have your vegetables already prepared. However, if you are using fresh vegetables you can prepare these steps in the morning and it will still save you time at dinner.

If you are using fresh ingredients cut all your vegetables in the morning. I like to use carrots, zucchini, mushrooms, peas and peppers. Cut your vegetables in thin strips or dice them. Green peas, of course, are ready to go as is. Add all vegetables to a ziploc bag or bowl. Place in the fridge.

If you are using meat, prepare marinade and pour in baggie. Try using chicken strips, beef strips or pork strips. If you'd like a shrimp stir fry don't marinade ahead of time. Add meat to your marinade and place in fridge. At dinner time all you need to do is cook the meat and vegetables and prepare rice if you are eating that as well.

For dinner place meat in pan with marinade and cook several minutes. Add vegetables. If you are serving rice with your meal start this the same time as the meat.

Try using thin spaghetti noodles instead of rice for a Lo Mein meal. After vegetables and meat are done cooking toss with cooked noodles.
