EVERYDAY CHINESE VEGETABLE STIR-FRY
The name “everyday” vegetable stir-fry comes from the fact that we like to use this recipe as a go-to when we have a fridge full of vegetables that we haven’t used up during the course of the week.
This vegetable stir-fry can be made with whichever vegetables you happen to have in your fridge. Adding some tofu makes this dish an excellent vegetarian main course.

- 5 thinly sliced fresh shiitake mushrooms
- 3 cloves of peeled and sliced garlic
