We all have those go-to meals when we feel uninspired in the kitchen. Mine is stir fry. This healthy stir fry takes less 30 minutes to prepare and can be easily modified with whatever veggies you have on hand. Make this the next time you don’t know what to cook, but you’re looking for something quick, healthy and delicious.

Try serving with a side salad, or over some cauliflower rice.
