This also works well with thinly sliced beef or pork! Feel free to add whatever veggies you can find or have on hand. Bell peppers, squash, mushrooms, snap peas, cauliflower, and string beans are all great options for stir frys... and if you happen to find some water chestnuts... throw a few of those bad boys in there too! ;) (American friends, a great way to cut down on prep time for this dish would be to grab a bag of frozen "stir fry" veggies from the frozen section.)
