This Thai-inspired ginger lime stir fry is easy to make and tastes terrific served over rice or noodles. It’s great as a side dish or as main course by adding a protein source such as tofu, peanuts, cashews, cooked shrimp, or diced chicken. Using a Le Creuset Toughened Nonstick fry pan is recommended to achieve a deep, brown sear without overcooking with easy release and clean up. The deep sides are perfect for tossing and stirring the ingredients.
