Quick and Easy Chinese Stir-Fry Recipe

Sharing is caring!

There comes a time in every busy mom’s life where she has to decide between takeout and frozen.  I know this feeling, I have 3 very active children.

Fortunately, I also have a large amount of super quick recipes in my arsenal!   This means I can give my kids a much more nutritious meal than either of the aforementioned options.  Not as good as it could be, but still much better than the others!

This Quick and Easy Chinese Stir-Fry Recipe is such a go-to for us that I get slightly panicked if I don’t have the three ingredients in my stash!

I love stir-frying meals because they are so super quick and leave very little clean up.

Specialty Ingredients:

The following ingredients are affiliate links on Amazon because they may be a bit hard to find in your normal store.  I wanted you to be able to see exactly which things we are using.

• Light Zesty Italian Dressing

Reminder, not all ingredients are linked above, just the ones that may be a bit difficult to find or that you might be unsure of what to look for.

With only three ingredients in the entire recipe, the above list is mighty short! 🙂

Make it a Meal:

Oh, who are we kidding?  This recipe is a meal – it has veggies and protein in one convenient dish!  However, if you want to serve it over rice, like we do, then you will need to cook some of that up.

Or, if you still want to make lots of dishes, the following items pair really well with it:

• side dish:  Easy Tortellini Salad
• bread:  Asparagus Spirals
• dessert:  Magic Cookie Bars

Must Have Stir-Fry Tools:

Ok, so you can actually make this without any of the below items, but then what is the fun in that?  If wee have to cook, we might as well have some fun toys at our disposal. 😉
