I threw this recipe together for supper one night and it was excellent. I just had to share it with you guys. My mother-in-law got me started using the Ziplock Steming bags and as a working mom, they sure come in handy. This recipe was prepared using the bags, but you could also stir fry anyway you like. The vegetable variety could also be left up to your personal preference. My family loves broccoli so we use that along with our other vegetables. Frozen or fresh could be used for added convienence.
