Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Ingredients

   Chop the onion, green beans, snap peas, eggplant, carrot, bell pepper, jalapeno, and bok choy into bite-sized pieces. Finely chop the lemongrass and basil leaves.

2. 2

   Cook the Protein

   In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add your choice of protein (chicken, crispy tofu, shrimp, or beef) and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

3. 3

   Stir-Fry the Vegetables

   In the same skillet, add the remaining vegetable oil. Add the onions and cook for 2 minutes until softened. Then add the carrots, eggplant, bell pepper, green beans, snap peas, and jalapeno. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

4. 4

   Add Lemongrass and Seasoning

   Stir in the chopped lemongrass, bok choy, soy sauce, sugar, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the bok choy is wilted and everything is well combined.

   Combine Everything

   Return the cooked protein to the skillet, add the basil leaves, and toss everything together. Cook for an additional minute to heat through.
