Stir Fries for Beginners

A good stir fry is all about flow. Start your rice first so it can steam while you cook. Then get everything prepped: chop your vegetables, slice your protein, and measure out your sauces and spices. Having it all ready makes for a calm cook and a much more delicious dinner.

Once you get the hang of it, stir fries will become your weeknight go to. They’re quick, adaptable, and endlessly forgiving. Swap in whatever protein or vegetables you have on hand, and finally put those pantry sauces to use.

Stir fries are one of the best cooking skills you can learn for fast, feel good dinners any night of the week.
