About

Stir fry is an easy way to get your veggies in using whatever you have in the fridge. This quick weekday meal highlights summer’s last cherry tomatoes before frost. Serve with brown rice, noodles or even cauliflower rice. This recipe is satisfying as is, or add 3 oz. of your favorite cooked protein per person: tofu, tempeh, chicken or sliced beef work well.
