Ready in a quick and easy 15 minutes, these colorful vegetables pair well with some leftover chicken for a clean portable lunch. A simple piece of grilled fish, such as tilapia or salmon, play well against the traditional Asian flavors of sesame oil and soy sauce for a fresh and healthy dinner. Add baby corn and water chestnuts for even more texture and flavor. A wok is ideal for stir-frying but a large nonstick skillet does very well also. Getting the pan really hot at medium-high and keeping the ingredients moving in the pan is the key to a perfect stir-fry.
