Expert Tips

Either Szechuan or ginger-garlic stir-fry sauce can be used instead of the lemon-basil stir-fry sauce. Add 1 teaspoon each lemon juice and chopped fresh basil leaves to match the flavor of this recipe.

Choose any blend of frozen vegetables that happen to be a family favorite. One suggestion: frozen baby peas, carrots, pea pods and corn.

Very good. I had to be creative to make the sauce though. Used a powdered Lemon sauce (that I found in the prepackaged seasonings section) and added basil to that. Worked well. Reheated well also.
