Instructions: A Step-by-Step Guide

1. Prep Your Ingredients: Start by prepping your protein and vegetables. Cut your meat (if using) into bite-sized pieces, and chop your veggies into small, uniform pieces for even cooking. Set everything aside.
2. Cook the Protein: In a large pan or skillet, heat a little oil over medium-high heat. Add your protein to the pan and cook until it’s browned and cooked through. This should take about 5-7 minutes for chicken or beef, or 3-4 minutes for tofu. Set the cooked protein aside.
3. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same pan, add a little more oil if necessary and sauté your veggies for 3-5 minutes until they’re tender and starting to brown. Season with salt, pepper, and any other spices you like.
4. Combine the Ingredients: Return the cooked protein to the pan, and pour in your sauce. Stir everything together to coat the protein and vegetables evenly in the sauce. Let it simmer for 5-10 minutes to let the flavors meld and the sauce thicken.
5. Add Cheese (Optional): If you’re using cheese, sprinkle it over the dish and let it melt for a creamy, cheesy finish. You can even pop the pan under the broiler for a couple of minutes to get that golden, bubbly top.
6. Serve and Enjoy: Plate your dish and serve it with your favorite side—rice, pasta, or a simple salad would all pair wonderfully. Enjoy the delicious flavors and the satisfaction of making a meal that’s both quick and flavorful!
