I needed to make another side, and I had a lot of fresh vegetables, so I started thinking about caramelized onions with green peppers, but that wasn't quite what I felt like making this time. Looking over what I had available to me and also wanting something quick and easy, I started thinking about stir fries. Stir fries are just about one of the quickest and easiest cooking methods I know. Another thing that makes them so great is the incredible amount of flexibility you have with each one. You can substitute in just about any vegetables and come out with something tasty and delicious. You could even change the sauces and seasonings to suit your preferences. Stir fries are highly elastic recipes! What's not to like about a quick and easy cooking method that's near impossible to mess up?
