Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are some of my favorite tips to ensure your stir fry turns out perfectly:

• Feel free to customize the veggies based on what you have on hand. Broccoli, snap peas, or even zucchini work wonderfully!
• For a creamier texture, consider adding a splash of coconut milk or a dollop of sour cream at the end.
• If you’re looking for non-acidic dinner ideas, this stir fry is a great choice!
• Make sure to keep the heat high to get that lovely stir-fry sear on the veggies.

How to Serve

This stir fry is delicious on its own, but you can also serve it over a bed of rice or quinoa for a heartier meal. If you’re in the mood for something different, try pairing it with some creamy garlic pasta for a delightful twist! It’s one of those weeknight dinner ideas that will impress your family and friends.

Make Ahead and Storage

If you want to prep ahead, you can slice the veggies and sausage in advance. Just store them in airtight containers in the fridge. This stir fry can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, making it a great option for meal prep. Just reheat in a skillet or microwave when you’re ready to enjoy it again!
