My Go-To Stir Fry Recipe
Happy Monday, friends!! I hope you all had a great weekend! I know it wasn’t actually warm out, but the sunshine still put me in the best mood. If you watched my instagram stories, you probably saw that Adam was dog sitting for his parents pup all weekend. While I’m sure it’s probably not shocking that I enjoyed having a puppy around, I especially loved that she got us out of bed each morning for long 2 mile walks around his neighborhood. We walked up to the south end of Lincoln Sqaure, over to the gorgeous homes in Ravenswood and back down to North Center. It was so so nice to get moving and get fresh air right away, especially after a night of tequila on Saturday ? Pretty sure it’s going to become our favorite weekend activity this Spring and Summer!
But on to this stir fry recipe! I was really trying to get it up last week, but I had some unexpected site issues. They’re all resolved now, and I’m so excited to finally share this with you. I’m not kidding, I seriously make this stir fry once a week. Not only is it really easy, but it’s a great way to pack a lot of veggies into one meal. And Adam loves it, too! Win!
One of the reasons why I love to make this is because I can add whatever veggies or protein I’m craving that day. Switch out the snap peas and add water chestnuts! Want to make it vegetarian? Crisp up some tofu! Or if you want to feel fancy, Adam and I looove to bake salmon filets and put one on top of each bowl. It reminds me of this recipe a little bit – but with way more veggies!
Oh, and if you have zero interest in making your own sauce – I’ve been there! Just pick up a teriyaki sauce from the grocery store and use that instead. Easy peasy!
Serve it as is or over brown rice!

- As the veggies cook, combine hoisin, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sriracha, chopped ginger and chopped garlic. Whisk to combine.
- Once the vegetables are fork tender, add snap peas, shredded carrots and bite sized chicken pieces. Lower the heat and pour half of the sauce over the mixture. Stir to combine.
