If you'd like to keep prep time to a minimum, shop for pre-cut stir-fry vegetables in the produce section. Depending on the brand, the mix might include broccoli, snow peas, bell peppers, or carrots, Just pick your favorite combination. If you’re using frozen cooked rice, you don’t need to thaw it; just add a couple of minutes to the cook time. Five-spice powder is an aromatic blend of ground cinnamon, star anise, fennel, ginger, and cloves, and adds a wonderful flavor to the dish.

Notes

Because of the interaction of the oils in the ground spices, five-spice powder has a short shelf life, so, after opening, store it for no more than 3 months on the shelf or 6 months in the freezer.
