Easy Chicken and Veggie Stir-fry
This quick and easy stir-fry takes less time to make than it does to drive to your local Asian joint for pickup and it's much lower in fat and sodium than it's takeout cousin. You can swap in thinly sliced flank steak for the chicken, if you like. This recipe makes 6 servings.

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Sliced green onions, for garnish
Directions
Whisk together all sauce ingredients in a non-reactive bowl and set aside.

Remove from heat, garnish with green onions and serve over steamed white or brown rice, if you like.
