Stir-Fry for One

TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 25 min. YIELD: 1 serving.
Whenever I ask my husband what he'd like for dinner, this is what he requests. I double the recipe so that I can enjoy it with him. He thinks this rivals the stir-fries served in many restaurants.—Margery Bryan, Moses Lake, Washington
