Method
Preparation
Begin by washing and chopping your vegetables into bite-sized pieces.
If using chicken or shrimp, cut them into small portions for even cooking.
Cooking
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
Add your choice of protein to the skillet and cook until golden brown and fully cooked through, approximately 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the chopped vegetables and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until they are tender yet crisp, roughly 5 minutes.
Pour in the soy sauce and season with salt and pepper. Mix well and allow to cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Once everything is heated through and flavors are well combined, remove from heat and serve hot. Garnish with sesame seeds, if desired.
Notes
For a spicy kick, add a teaspoon of red pepper flakes or a splash of sriracha. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat to maintain texture.
