Stir fry meals are super popular in my house. Are they your thing, too? Then you should check out my Tempeh and Vegetable Stir Fry in Teriyaki Sauce. The tempeh keeps this vegetarian dish really hearty, and teriyaki is always so tasty.
I’m an eggplant fan, so one of my favorite stir fry dishes is Spicy Eggplant Stir Fry with Cashews. This is seriously one of my favorites (and now I need to add it to the week’s menu — and you should, too)!
I always, always have a bunch of vegetables in my fridge waiting to be used for a second meal. Due to the recent recall on Romaine lettuce, I knew I needed a tasty way to deliver the good stuff that was outside the salad realm. Stir fry to the rescue!
This stir fry is definitely loaded with veggies. I used my leftovers and even added a few of my favorites like asparagus and mushrooms. This simple stir fry offers you a healthy and delicious meal that you can have ready in no time.

Do you make stir fry meals often? I love them! The sauces usually only include several ingredients that can be switched up with different flavors (who loves citrus-based sauces?).
I used maple syrup, Dijon mustard, and a few other things for this dish. Sweet and spicy for sure (and I added a little extra spicy to mine)!
