Stir-Fry

Stir-fries are great fast meal ideas. We often make stir-fries if we have a variety of vegetables around. They make great side dishes or main courses. We usually serve ours as a side, but sometimes we add meat to make a main course. Our stir-fries are most often served with any type of pasta or rice. You can throw pretty much any vegetable or piece of meat into a stir-fry, as long as it is cut to an appropriate size. So many different stir-fries can be made using so many different ingredients. We usually just end up seasoning our stir-fries to taste, but you can also make any kind of sauce you want for your stir-fry. There are so many stir-fry ideas out there, you will never tire of them. Stir-fries are a fast, easy, and healthy idea for supper. Here is one of our stir-fries, it contains broccoli, carrots, onion, mushrooms, and asparagus. Other popular ingredients in our stir-fries include zucchini, cauliflower, and even peas. 

Stir-fries are just as the name states; they are cooked in a frying pan and stirred often to prevent burning and promote even cooking, as typically little fat is used. Although they do require stirring often, stir-fries certainly are not labour-intensive, time-consuming, or difficult to make. They are also a great way to use up leftovers! Stir-frying originated as a Chinese method of cooking, in a special pan called a wok, but now stir-fries are popular in many different cuisines. You can also buy frozen stir-fry meals, but why would you want to?  Stir-fries are so quick, easy, and tasty to whip up!
