When the day gets busy and I need dinner on the table in a flash, I always reach for my stash of Trader Joe's favorites. This stir fry comes together in minutes and tastes just like takeout without the wait.

My secret is using a bag of frozen stir fry vegetables and a pre marinated protein source. It saves so much time on chopping and prep, leaving more room for family time at the dinner table.

🧺 Ingredients

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 pound pre marinated chicken or tofu
1 bag frozen stir fry vegetable blend
1/2 cup teriyaki or soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
2 cups cooked white or brown rice

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium high heat.
2
Add the chicken or tofu to the pan and cook until it is browned and cooked through.
3
Pour in the frozen vegetables and stir constantly until they are thawed and tender.
4
Drizzle the sauce over everything and toss well to coat all the ingredients evenly.
5
Serve your stir fry over warm rice and top with a sprinkle of sesame seeds before eating.

💡 Tips

You can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. If you like a little extra heat, feel free to add a splash of chili oil or some red pepper flakes right before serving.
