Stir-fries are easy to prepare and make for healthy meals. As the ingredients are cooked quickly at high heat, vegetables don’t lose their nutrients.

Notes
If peanut oil is unsuitable because of allergies, use canola oil or a vegetable oil. Remember when cooking stir-fries to chop and slice your ingredients first and keep them about the same size so they cook evenly.
