Chicken Stir Fry Recipe Frozen Vegetables
Always pat your frozen veggies dry with a towel after a minute in the pan. Excess ice creates steam, and steam is the enemy of crispiness. A dry surface equals a beautiful sear.
Add a handful of raw cashews or sliced almonds at the end for crunch. Or toss in some leftover cooked rice noodles to stretch the meal. This dish is endlessly forgiving—it doesn’t care if you substitute green beans for snow peas or use avocado oil instead of peanut.
Don’t skip the garnish. A sprinkle of sesame seeds or a drizzle of sriracha takes it from “I made dinner” to “I curated dinner.” And yes, using the word “curated” while eating from a bowl with frozen veggies is totally allowed.
