What's not to love about stir fries? They are the ultimate one pan meal.
The best way to clean out the fridge. (Week old bell peppers, green beans, snow peas, etc.- throw them in!)
One of the most delicious ways to eat your fresh vegetables (leafy greens are so much better when they are covered in sauce!).
And the best part is that they can be whatever you want. Need a main course? Add a chicken breast. Looking for a great side dish? Stir fry, at your service. Easy meal prep? Yep, stir fries make great leftovers!
If you're searching for a recipe, here is my Sweet and Spicy Stir Fry. It features an easy homemade sauce and includes chicken, red pepper, snap peas and a handful of other vegetables. But it can totally be customized to be made with your favourite vegetables and protein!

Or for another option, you might enjoy Egg Rolls in a Bowl! Stir fried coleslaw mix combined with ground pork for a healthier twist on a popular dish.
Whether you are serving your stir fry as a side and are looking for a delicious main dish or you're looking for the perfect accompaniment to your stir fry meal, you're sure to find ideas in this collection.
