A 15-MINUTE STIR FRY 
MEAT:

1 lb. of boneless, lean meat like skinned chicken or turkey breast, pork loin, or beef (flank steak, round steak or top sirloin). Buy pre-cut meat or trim fat and cut a large piece into thin strips.

MARINADE:

2 tbsp. low sodium soy sauce
2 tbsp. water
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp. corn starch

VEGETABLES:

1 lb. (or 2 c.) fresh or frozen vegetables. Frozen combinations, like Bird's Eye Farm Fresh Mixture, require no chopping. If using fresh vegetables, chop into bite-size pieces or thin strips. Good vegetables for stir frying: broccoli, string beans, peas, peppers, onions, zucchini and carrots.

SAUCE:

2 tbsp. low sodium soy sauce
1/2 c. low sodium chicken broth
1 tsp. sugar
1 tbsp. corn starch

Combine marinade ingredients in a bowl. Add meat pieces and toss to coat well. Let stand for 10 minutes; then drain extra marinade from meat.

Cool a wok or heavy pan with non-stick cooking spray. Add 1 tablespoon oil and heat on high. Add meat and cook until browned, stirring constantly. Add vegetables and sauce. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

Yield: 4 servings.
