Do you ever find yourself in a vegetable rut? I do. We gravitate toward salads, roasted veggies, smoothies and raw veggies with dips. I’ve been wanting to make more stir fries so when I saw this easy recipe on Produce for Better Health, it was a no brainer.
This turned out great. The broccoli is really crisp so if you want it softer, just steam it ahead of time or keep it covered for longer. I know my kids prefer crisp over soggy.
