• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free option)

• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil (or any neutral cooking oil)
• 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
• 3 stalks Green onions, thinly sliced
• 0 to taste Salt and pepper

Directions

Step 1

Prepare all ingredients before you start cooking. Chop the protein into bite-sized pieces if necessary. Wash and slice vegetables into similar-sized pieces for even cooking.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and swirl to coat the surface.

Step 3

Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the mixed vegetables to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3–5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are slightly tender but still crisp.

Step 5

Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the cooked protein. Stir-fry for 1–2 minutes to heat through.

Step 6

Add the cooked rice or noodles to the skillet, stirring them into the vegetables and protein to combine evenly.

Step 7

Pour in the soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), sesame oil, and red pepper flakes. Toss everything together to coat evenly. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 8

Cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until everything is heated through and the flavors are well combined.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with sliced green onions.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your 'Clean Out' stir-fry while it's hot!
