With spring right around the corner, green beans are looking better and better and will only continue to be readily available as we head closer towards the summer months.

Of course, green beans can easily be swapped for asparagus, carrots, red peppers or any other crunchy veggie you happen to have on hand. That’s the best part about stir-fries, they can turn almost any vegetable into something magical.

My biggest piece of advice is to always keep a well stocked Asian pantry so that you’re never more than 20 minutes from a fresh, fast, easy and delicious dinner.

Your chop sticks are waiting.
