Stir-fry dishes make ideal quick meals. The protein ingredients and vegetables all cook together in one pan, so cleanup is easy. What could be better?

This is a classic Chinese stir-fry. Not only is it a snap to make, it’s full of flavor. Serve it over rice or by itself. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp or broccoli; you don’t want the shrimp to become tough or the broccoli to be that sorry shade of green with no crunch. Keep it crunchy.

This is a really light and enjoyable dish, perfect for summer weather and staying out of the dishwashing suds.
