Method

  1. Prep every ingredient before heating the skillet; the cooking moves quickly.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high with the oil. Brown the main ingredient.
  3. Add the vegetables and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring, so they stay colourful and lightly crisp.
  4. Add the seasonings and a splash of water. Toss for 2 minutes to coat.
  5. Take off the heat, taste, and serve with the listed accompaniment.
