How to Make Stir Fry

Veggie Stir Fry
by Andrea Aizlewood

The main inspiration for this recipe comes from receiving all that extra rice when getting Chinese take out. So much work goes into harvesting every grain of rice. It is so crushing to throw any food away, especially rice. This is a quick and easy way to use up random veggies and leftover rice to make a healthy and filling meal for the family. It is also great to eat as a late night snack straight from the fridge or for a cold lunch the next day when you're on the go.

Tip: There is a term the French use, “mis en place” which means “putting in place”. It means to have all of the ingredients for the recipe and having them prepped and ready for cooking. Practicing mis en place ensures that you won't be half way through making your dish and realizing you are out of a key ingredient. It also ensures that you can execute without worrying about cutting or chopping while something is sitting and burning in the pan. Making this stir fry is a great way to practice prepping everything or mis en place.
