How people cook with it
This frozen vegetable blend is convenient for quick meals. It can be added to many different dishes.
- Stir-fries
- Fried rice
- Side dishes
- Soups
To cook, you can heat the blend in a skillet with a little oil. Sauté until the vegetables are tender-crisp. You can also add it directly to simmering dishes like soups or stews. For stir-fries, add it towards the end of cooking to maintain its texture. It cooks quickly because the vegetables are already blanched. You can season it with soy sauce, ginger, garlic, or your favorite Asian-inspired sauces.
