Who doesn’t like Stir-Fry? And whatever you have in the refrigerator will do. This is another dish that really doesn’t need a recipe. It combines a few techniques from the Methods page – velveting, making a great stir-fry sauce, and cooking rice in the Instant Pot (clickable links).

Be sure to “velvet” whatever protein you desire – steak, pork tenderloin, chicken breasts or thighs… Cook on high heat, not moving for the first minute or so to caramelize the first side, then stir-fry for another minute or so and set aside.

Use fresh, crisp peppers or whatever fresh veg you have – cabbage, carrots, zucchini, celery… Stir-fry until crisp-tender.

Add the protein back to the pan, then add a flavorful sauce to finish and cook for a few minutes longer, until the sauce is thick and silky looking. Serve over short-grain brown rice. We also put gluten-free tamari and sesame oil out on the table for those of us who want just a little more of either. So easy, so flexible, so healthy, so good.

Please check out my Stir-Fry Variations pages for inspiration if you’re looking for yummy veg and meat combinations that you may not have tried yet. Enjoy!
