grandma's Secret tip
grandma's Secret tip
Grandma didn't always use green beans, carrots and bell pepper—she often substituted whatever was in her vegetable drawer: Broccoli florets, sliced squash, green onions, even asparagus often made an appearance in her sesame stir-fry.
Serving Suggestion
Serving Suggestion
Serve over white rice, with egg rolls that are baked in the oven while you prepare the stir-fry.
