What's inside

Vegetable stir-fry

Quick, savory stir-fry to turn raw vegetables into a hot meal for a weeknight dinner or lunch. Use this when you have assorted fresh vegetables and 25 minutes.

⏱ 23 min★ Easy
Target

Assorted raw vegetables and basic seasonings are on the counter, mostly unwashed and uncut, and no pan is heated.

Obstacle

Vegetables cook at different rates and uneven chopping or wrong sequencing can leave some pieces overcooked or raw; deciding chop size and order is where time and attention are needed.

Expectation

A hot, evenly cooked vegetable stir-fry in a serving dish, glossy with sauce and ready to eat.
