minutesI love stir fries. What to do with an abundance of vegetables? Stir fries are easy, healthy and one pot cooking. Plus, you can always add any protein from any kind of meat, fish or even tofu or tempeh. My kids love stir fries and sometimes we serve with jasmine rice or noodles. These are easy to do and you can choose any flavor profile whether you choose to make it more Italian with fresh herbs such as basil, sage, parsley and oregano or Asian using cilantro, lemongrass, basil, and fresh ginger.
I never use a recipe, I just go with what I have access to as far as vegetables. My garden always has a bounty of fresh herbs. We keep fresh herbs year round in our garden so they go to make all my dishes savory or sweet much better.
