          ¼ cup soy sauce
          4 eggs, beaten
          2 cups frozen peas and carrots, cooked
          2 small (¾ oz.) packages Sun Bird® fried rice seasoning mix

EZ Veggie Stir Fry

          Bag of frozen vegetables or various fresh vegetables
          Can of water chestnuts

          Water chestnuts (if not in the frozen mix)

          Start with a frozen bag of Oriental stir fry mix or use fresh vegetables. Blades 3, 4 and 5 are great for cutting up fresh vegetables like zucchini, yellow squash, carrots, mushrooms, and so on. Remember: the larger the blade number, the larger the cut. Bok Choy cabbage is really good in stir fry and cuts best with a knife. Bell peppers are best cut with a knife for thicker slices. Add all your vegetables into the wok, 11-inch skillet or 5-quart roaster, then cover. Use medium heat until the Vapo-valve clicks steady. Add marinade, stir and cover. Cook until the Vapo-valve clicks again and you're ready to eat. Toss on some Mandarin oranges before serving if you like.
