Notes
Jasmine or Basmati rice go well with this recipe, but white or brown rice will work as well.Feel free to swap out the pepper if you want.Add in some baked tofu or serve over some rice noodles to make it extra filling. Toss in any of your favorite extra ingredients like shrimp, chicken, steak, carrots, or mushrooms too. Store leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3-4 days. Another option is to freeze leftovers by adding them to a freezer-safe bag or container and freezing for up to three months. To serve, thaw the stir fry in the refrigerator or microwave. Then toss it in a skillet to warm it up and reheat it or microwave. Fresh broccoli is preferred, but if you only have frozen, defrost it before adding it the dish.
