Whip Up a Simple Stir-fry - Upcycle Your Pantry challenge, powered by Compass One Healthcare - Day 3 Tip
Published
Do you want to use your pantry ingredients for something quick, convenient, and nutritionally balanced? Look no further than a stir-fry.
These popular dishes usually have the perfect combo of protein, carbohydrates, and vegetables, making them a wholesome (and mouth-watering) choice. They’re also quick and simple to prepare — perfect for anyone with a busy schedule.
Here's what you'll need from your pantry:
Start by sautéing your choice of protein and canned or frozen veggies in a hot pan with a little oil. Add the sauce for flavor and serve it over cooked brown rice from your pantry.
BONUS TIP: Upcycle leftover fried rice. Add scrambled eggs, kimchi, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, and low-sodium soy sauce to enhance the flavor and nutrition. Consider adding beans or edamame for added protein. Get more stir-fry upcycling advice from Compass One.

Here's what you'll need from your pantry:
- Protein: Canned tuna or salmon are excellent options, providing protein and omega-3 fatty acids. You can also use canned chicken or tofu.
- Vegetables: Raid your pantry or freezer for canned or frozen vegetables like peas, carrots, corn, or mixed stir-fry veggies. They add color, flavor, and essential nutrients.
- Sauce: Look for bottled stir-fry sauce or improvise with soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and a touch of honey or brown sugar for that perfect blend of sweet and savory.
