To prepare, heat a tablespoon of oil in a skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the frozen Szechuan Style Broccoli & Edamame directly from the package. Stir-fry for 7-10 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp and heated through. You can adjust the cooking time based on your preferred texture. For a more robust flavor, consider adding additional fresh garlic, ginger, or a splash of soy sauce during the last few minutes of cooking. It can also be heated in the microwave according to package directions.

This eliminates the need for separate sauce preparation and offers a specific flavor profile that may differ from other Asian-inspired vegetable mixes. The combination of broccoli and edamame also provides a unique texture and color.
