The refrigerator light goes on...

This is a quick and easy stir fry using good basic ingredients. This is a great recipe to use as a base and you can make simple substitutions each time you make it. Try substituting fresh salmon or shrimp instead of the chicken. Peanuts are a great substitute for the cashews, and you could use a red onion, leeks, or carrots instead of the sliced onions. Frozen peas or corn are perfect for your stir fry as well.
