Spring Vegetable Stir-Fry with Chili-Orange Sauce

Description
The chili peppers in this dish provide a little bit of heat, depending on what type you find at the grocery store. If you don’t have any fresh chili peppers, you can sprinkle on some red pepper flakes instead. The flakes will add more heat, so it’s best to sprinkle each plate individually rather than directly into the whole skillet. Garnish with fresh cilantro and enjoy your meal.

Variation Tip
Use this to top a bowl of quinoa or add in your favorite beans, like black beans or edamame, for protein. I also love to add 1 cup of halved cherry tomatoes right at the end for some extra flavor.
