Chinese-Style Stir-Fry

This stir-fry has to be one of the quickest and most delicious out there. What’s the trick to making a great stir-fry? There is none, it’s just that easy!

One way to save yourself time and prepare a hassle-free weeknight dinner or lunch is to precut your veggies ahead of time. When you’re ready to cook, heat the oil in the skillet or wok and get out all of the veggies you need, both frozen and not, to cook.

Chef Talk

You might wonder what kind of shrimp is best for this recipe. Though we recommend raw, fresh shrimp, you can use whichever kind you have on hand. If you use frozen, just make sure to thaw and peel your shrimp ahead of time. If they’re already cooked, add them near the end of cooking so they don’t get rubbery and overdone.

Generally with Asian-inspired recipes like fried rice or stir-fry, a wok is used to distribute the heat evenly to all of the ingredients. However, a wok isn’t necessary to make a great stir-fry! A large skillet works well, just be sure to heat it on high and not to crowd it so your ingredients cook properly, without steaming.
