If you have looked at many of my recipes, you may have noticed I love to stir-fry. It is one of my favorite ways to prepare veggies, and I love a good stir-fry dish. In fact, it is one of my favorite subjects. What's not to love about stir-fry? It is quick, healthy, delicious, and it can use what you have on hand or leftovers like nobody's business! Really, it may be the perfect dish. The possibilities are endless! But this particular recipe for stir-fry is really yummy because it is sweet and spicy....an oh-so-wonderful combination!
You have sweet from the honey, spicy from the chili paste, and some umami going on with the soy sauce, fish sauce, and sesame oil. This is a really delicious, quick, and healthy dish!
Serve it over brown rice, and there you have it! In fact, make more of this and meal-prep it up for lunches too!
