This recipe for stir-fry is so simple...just as it states in the title. I love all of the fresh ingredients. I have made this with chicken, shrimp and beef--they were all delicious, but my favorite is the chicken. Please put this on your menu soon. My family loves it!
Fresh, fresh, fresh!
This is so good, I made it 3 times in a week and a half. Our choice of rice is jasmine.

Just knew it... Kelsey's Kitchen!
Oh my goodness. Everything on your blog looks SO delicious! I didn't know you were such an amazing cook. How often do you go groc shopping and how do you keep your ingredients fresh?
Julia--
I go grocery shopping every Saturday with a list of ingredients I need for the next weeks meals. I usually cook those meals that have a lot of fresh ingredients in them first, and then use the ingredients that last longer in the refrigerator for later in the week. Sometimes I have to make a quick trip for something, but usually I get it in one stop. When I come home from the grocery store, I usually wash all of the ingredients and store them in my vegetable/fruit bins. They stay much longer if kept in those. For lettuce, I wash it and then wrap it in a couple of paper towels and bag it up to use later. For some reason, the paper towels keep lettuce and other herbs fresh for a longer time. I do buy a lot of the organic salad mixes (Spring Mix and Spinach) in the clear rectangle containers because they last at least a week. Hope this helps.
Thank you so much! I'm gonna use the paper towel trick from now on! What kind of bins do you use? I have been using green bags but I don't really feel like they work that well. Thanks for letting me pick your brain!
The bins I am referring to are the one's that came with my refrigerator. They keep everything much more fresh had you just left them on the normal shelves in your fridge.
