👩🍳Home Recipe
Ingredients: Jasmine White rice, turnips, radish, kale, bok choy, bell peppers, Anaheim peppers, water chestnuts, soy sauce, olive oil, garlic, honey, and ginger.
• I made 5 cups of rice here and use 2 of each vegetable. I honestly just estimate how much ingredients for the sauce lol. Typically I put more soy sauce and honey in. Table spoons for: olive oil, garlic and ginger. This feeds about 5 people. You can make more or less, ofc it all depends on how much you want to eat or how many people you are feeding.
Additional tips/notes: There’s so many different vegetables and meats you can use this is just what I use typically. Peas, carrots, shallots, asparagus, zucchini, bean sprouts, celery, cauliflower, tomatoes, mushrooms, broccoli and onion.
For protein you can use chicken, beef, pork, shrimp tofu ,egg and more.
For the sauce other options there is vinegar, sugar, green onion, lemon grass, citrus juice/zest, curry chile/pepper, sesame, paprika, siracha, wine, harissa, cajun or Italian blends, Chinese 5 spice, pepper flakes ect!
Adding almonds / cashews adds a little flavor too!
!Don’t over fry the vegetables nor the water chestnuts!
(7 mins is a good time)
Now enjoy this healthy recipe :)

Stir frying is a cooking technique that preserves the color and nutrients of your ingredients, making it not only visually appealing but also healthy. Plenty of varieties exist in terms of protein and vegetables, so you can easily tailor it to your taste preferences. Popular protein choices include chicken, shrimp, and tofu, while an array of veggies like bell peppers, carrots, and broccoli enhance flavor and texture. Don't forget the importance of your stir fry oil; sesame oil adds a delicious nuttiness. For a perfect stir fry, keep these tips in mind: prepare all ingredients beforehand to ensure quick cooking, use a wok or a large pan for even heat distribution, and don’t overcrowd the pan, as it will steam rather than fry your ingredients. Aim for high heat to achieve that lovely crispiness while retaining the vegetables' vibrant color. Try incorporating different flavors with sauces like soy sauce, teriyaki, or even a kick of sriracha for heat. This recipe can be a great opportunity to utilize leftover vegetables or proteins in your refrigerator, reducing food waste while creating a nutritious meal. Embrace creativity with your seasoning; add spices like ginger or garlic powder to enhance the flavors, and finish with fresh herbs like cilantro or green onion for an extra flavor dimension. Whether for a family dinner or meal prep for the week, stir fry is a quick, nutritious, and delicious option!
