Recipe Notes
Stir-frys are great choices for weeknight meals because they are quick and easy as well as delicious and great for you. Two tips: first, cut the ingredients into similar sizes so they cook at a more uniform rate. Second, add the firmer ingredients to the wok first so they have a little longer to cook. For example, add the carrots first (if they’re in your stir-fry), then the onions and then the peppers.
