Super simple and super fast, this stir-fry ticks all the boxes for a perfect one-pan meal. The convenience of bottled stir-fry sauce keeps prep to a minimum, but if you want to make an easy from-scratch sauce, simply whisk together 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce, 1 teaspoon toasted sesame and oil and 1/4 teaspoon cornstarch and add it in Step 2 as directed. Using equal parts soy sauce and freshly squeezed orange juice in the mix is another nice twist since orange complements many stir-fries. A sprinkle of chopped fresh cilantro or basil would be welcome here too.
