How to Make Stir-Fried Three Strips: A Simple Guide

Stir-Fried Three Strips is a quick, healthy, and versatile dish that combines thinly sliced vegetables for a colorful, crunchy meal. Here’s a basic recipe with endless variations.

Ingredients:

- 1 medium carrot, julienned

- 1 bell pepper (any color), sliced into thin strips

- 150g firm tofu or chicken breast, shredded (optional for protein)

- 2 cloves garlic, minced

- 1 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)

- 1 tsp sesame oil

- Salt and pepper to taste

- 1 tbsp vegetable oil

Instructions:

1. Prep: Julienne the carrot and bell pepper into uniform strips for even cooking. If using tofu, press it to remove excess water; if using chicken, shred it after boiling or pan-frying until cooked.

2. Stir-fry: Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add garlic and stir-fry for 10 seconds until fragrant.

3. Cook veggies: Add carrots first, stir-frying for 2 minutes. Then add bell peppers and cook for 1–2 minutes until crisp-tender.

4. Add protein (optional): Toss in tofu or shredded chicken, cooking for 2–3 minutes until heated through.

5. Season: Drizzle with soy sauce and sesame oil. Season with salt and pepper. Toss everything together for 30 seconds.

Serving: Serve hot with steamed rice or noodles. For extra flavor, top with chopped scallions or a sprinkle of chili flakes.

Variations: Swap veggies with zucchini, cabbage, or mushrooms; add ginger for spice, or use oyster sauce instead of soy sauce. This dish adapts to your taste and pantry staples!
