Notes

You can substitute beef with chicken or pork, and feel free to use other vegetables like broccoli or snap peas. The key to a great stir-fry is cooking at high heat and not overcrowding the pan. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, but it's best enjoyed fresh. Serve over steamed rice or noodles for a comforting meal.
