To prepare, you can often cook this blend directly from frozen. For stir-fries, heat a little oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the frozen vegetables and cook, stirring frequently, until they are tender-crisp. You can also add them to simmering soups or stews during the last few minutes of cooking to warm through. They are excellent tossed into fried rice or served as a simple side dish with your favorite sauce.
