Vegan stir fry is a great dish for avoiding food waste because you can use up all of the veggies you have left that aren’t enough to eat on their own. They’re also so easy to make vegan! Just add them to a pan with some sauce, a plant-based protein, and a grain to get a delicious, eco-friendly meal!
