I make stir several times a month because it’s easy.  Sometimes I use chicken, sometimes I use tofu, and sometimes I use beef.  It depends on what I’m making during the rest of the week as well as what vegetables we have in the refrigerator.  My sauce is usually a combination of soy sauce, sesame oil, possibly rice wine vinegar, sometime Sriracha, and sometimes chili paste.  It all depends on what I’m making.

The thing that was really different about this stir fry is that it used plum sauce as part of the stir fry sauce.  I’m not sure I’ve ever eaten or even seen plum sauce before so this was something new for me.  It sounded pretty sweet so I was relieved when I tasted it was more savory than sweet.

Saute whatever vegetables you have in the rerigerator to make this Beef and Vegetable Stir Fry!

Another thing I liked about the Beef and Garden Vegetable Stir Fry is that it was made with noodles instead of rice.  While I really like rice, I love noodles but I rarely pair them with my stir fry.  The other great thing about stir fry is that you can use any vegetables you have.  So while this recipe used carrots, yellow peppers, and green beans, I used carrots, snow peas, and green peppers.
