Note
Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave.
Ingredient Substitutions: For a vegetarian option, substitute chicken stock with vegetable broth. You can use fresh green beans instead of frozen; blanch them for 3 minutes before adding to the stir-fry.
Tips: Reserve mushroom stems for vegetable stock if desired. Romas work well as tomatoes in winter months due to their firm texture. Adjust salt to taste depending on the saltiness of your soy sauce.
Variations: Add other frozen vegetables like peas or spinach for extra nutrition. A squeeze of lemon juice at the end can brighten the flavors.
