Tips & Tricks For This Broccoli Carrot Stir-Fry

  1. You can play with the sriracha amount depending on how spicy you like your food. As written the spiciness is definitely there but I wouldn’t say it’s over the top. Feel free to tone down (or up!) based on your preference.
  2. For the broccoli, about one medium-sized broccoli crown will give you the two cups. For the carrots, about three to four small to medium-ish carrots will give you the two cups. But it will vary slightly just based on the produce you buy!
  3. I think this dish could also be an excellent base if you wanted to add some other form of protein. Crispy tofu, chicken, whatever floats your boat. Make it your own.

And now, we slurp!
