Veggie Stir-Fry
Hot oil
veggies
garlic, soy sauce, etc.
That’s it, it’s really that easy. Cabbage or green beans in garlic are amazing and you can stick them on top of noodles or rice. Really any veggie, carrots, zucchini, brussel sprouts, yams, corn, broccoli, peas, etc. are transformed by the simple power of the stir-fry into something that everyone will love.
