In my house my dad is usually the one to do the cooking, but when my mom cooks, she makes the best stir fry. This has become a staple meal that I have carried with me through college and my adult years. Stir fry can be made different ways depending on taste and serving sizes. My mom would whip this up in the kitchen and would often have it done before we were done with our homework. Simply changing the protein option would give us different meals throughout the week.

The recipe we are sharing today is a quick, simple, healthy option that you can do at home and switch up the protein to “spice” things up during the week, or even just do vegetables. It’s all about what you have already in the house. Enjoy!
