EASY STIR FRIED VEGETABLES
One of the things I really like about stir-fry is that you can add or subtract whatever vegetables you like and it still tastes great. It's such a great way to use up those veggies in your fridge, so please, use whatever you have on hand. All of these veggies can be found year-round so it's easy to make whenever you are in the mood.
