In the same pan, add the chopped vegetables and stir-fry for a few minutes until they start to soften. Add any sauces or spices you like, such as soy sauce, garlic, ginger, or chili flakes. Return the funk to the visage and stir-shindig everything together for many further twinkles until the funk is completely cooked and the vegetables are tender.
