What does it mean to stir-fry?
Stir-frying is a cooking technique that originated in China in which ingredients are cooked in a small amount of oil over high heat. The food is constantly stirred during the cooking process, hence the name ``stir-fry.`` This method of cooking results in food that is evenly cooked and full of flavor. Stir-frying is a great way to cook vegetables because they retain their color, texture, and nutrients.
Stir-frying is versatile because you can add any type of protein, vegetable, or grain to the dish. In this recipe, we've used Mrs. Miller's Fine Amish Egg Noodles, but feel free to use whatever you have on hand. Angel Hair, Medium, and even Kluski are all great options. The key is to cook the noodles ahead of time so they're not overcooked when everything is added to the pan.
Stir-fries are also great weeknight meals because they cook up quickly. In this recipe, the longest-cooking vegetables, like the onions and asparagus, are added first. Then the faster-cooking veggies, like the snow peas and aromatics in the sauce, are added later. This ensures that everything is cooked through but still crisp and full of flavor.
If you're looking for a delicious and healthy weeknight meal, give this Spring Veggie Stir-Fry a try. The mix of fresh vegetables, Amish Egg Noodles, and heart-healthy walnuts makes it a great dish for the whole family. Enjoy!
