To get a headstart, you can save time by preparing your vegetables and proteins ahead of time and storing them in airtight containers in the fridge the day before cooking. You can also prepare your sauce and seal them in airtight containers stored in the fridge.
However, save your aromatics for cooking time.
And finally, if you’re serving your stir-fry with rice, you can use leftover rice or cook your rice the day before and store in the fridge. Plus, leftover rice makes for the best fried rice!
After you’ve prepared your protein, sauce, and vegetables – being sure to chop, marinade, and mix ahead of time. For cooking, we recommend using sesame oil, but vegetable or olive oil will also work just fine!
To conclude, we recommend sliced jalapeños, chopped dry roasted peanuts, lime juice, or minced cilantro, or Thai basil to top your stir-fry with. You can also use fresh sesame seeds or sriracha.
Serve with rice, rice noodles, or even with ramen.
