Notes
Cutting your vegetables: When dicing my vegetables I try to make sure they are all similar in size. This will help everything cook evenly.
Soy Sauce: For this recipe, I used a reduced-sodium soy sauce. Regular soy sauce has a very salty taste so make sure to add it to taste.
Serving Ideas: You can serve this recipe over rice or make it low carb and serve it over cauliflower rice.
