Dink dink da dink dink dink. Dink dink da dink dink dink. Dink dink da dink dink dink diiiiink!

That was me playing "Chopsticks!"  Speaking of chopsticks - here's how to make a huge batch of stir-fry stuff that you can save for many, many meals.

OK, let's do this:

Stupid Easy Stir-fry for Days
makes a buttload
prep time 10 min, cook time 5 min

You will need one super-huge or two pretty big dishes to hold all the veggies you cut up.  I used a huge salad bowl and a large baking dish.  Whatever works.

For the sauce:

1/2 c low sodium soy sauce
2 T sesame oil
2 T rice vinegar
1 T minced garlic
1 T minced ginger
crushed red pepper to taste

For the veggies, you can use just about anything you've ever seen in a stir-fry cut into bite sized pieces.  I used:

1 pineapple (I would DEFINITELY use pineapple)
3 handfuls broccoli
1 red onion
2 handfuls mushrooms
2 carrots
1 red bell pepper
1 small green cabbage

I also added baked tofu



Combine all the sauce ingredients and stir to combine.
Cut everything into bite sized pieces and pour the sauce over it.  Toss with your hands to make sure everything gets coated.  That's why I used two dishes.  I transferred the veg from one bowl to the other to mix it.

At this point you can put it into containers and save it for later in the fridge or freezer.  If you're ready to eat now, use a wok or large frying pan over high-ish heat, stirring frequently for about 5 min, or until veggies are tender.  Serve with brown rice or quinoa.
