Notes
How to customize: This stir fry is completely customizable with whatever vegetables that you have on hand. Some of my favourite veggies in stir fries are: sugar snap peas, edamame, broccoli, watercress, bell peppers, and baby corn. You could also add some chilis for a kick.
How to store: Let stir fry vegetables cool to room temperature before placing them in an airtight container. Then, store in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days.
How to reheat: For best results, reheat leftovers on the stovetop over low to medium heat to avoid overcooking. Stir frequently to ensure even reheating. You can also reheat in the microwave, covered, in 15-second increments until hot.
