Trader Joes Stir Fry Recipe

This tender crisp Trader Joes Stir Fry Recipe is made with chicken breast, frozen stir fry vegetables, and Soyaki sauce, ready in 15 minutes. The savory sauce reduces into a sticky glaze that coats the vegetables and chicken perfectly. I rely on this quick meal on busy weeknights when I need something fast.

Better Than Takeaway

I used to order out when I felt too tired to cook, but this meal comes together faster than delivery. The Trader Joe’s frozen vegetable blend saves so much prep time without sacrificing crunch.

My biggest mistake early on was adding the sauce too soon, which made the vegetables soggy. Now I let the chicken brown completely before adding the glaze to maintain the right texture.

Trader Joes Stir Fry Recipe Ingredients

• 1 lb chicken breast, thinly sliced
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 bag (16 oz) Trader Joe’s Frozen Stir Fry Vegetables
• 1/2 cup Trader Joe’s Soyaki sauce
• 2 cups cooked Trader Joe’s Jasmine Rice

How To Make Trader Joes Stir Fry Recipe

1. Sear the chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes until browned.
2. Add the vegetables: Pour the frozen vegetables directly into the skillet with the chicken. Cook for 3-4 minutes until they are bright and tender-crisp.
3. Glaze with sauce: Pour the Soyaki sauce over the mixture. Let it bubble and reduce for 2 minutes until it coats the chicken and vegetables.
4. Serve warm: Remove from heat and serve immediately over warm jasmine rice.

Recipe Tips

• Do not thaw vegetables: Cooking straight from frozen prevents mushy textures and keeps the crunch.
• Use high heat: A hot pan ensures the chicken sears properly instead of steaming in its own juices.
• Prep everything first: The cooking process is fast, so having your rice ready and chicken sliced helps tremendously.

What To Serve With Stir Fry

This meal pairs beautifully with a side of crispy spring rolls or steamed edamame. A bowl of hot miso soup also works well to start the meal.

How To Store

Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop with a splash of water. Freezing is not recommended as the vegetables will become too soft.

FAQs

Can I use beef instead of chicken?
Yes, thinly sliced flank steak works wonderfully. Just flash fry it quickly so it remains tender.

What other sauce works for this?
Trader Joe’s Sweet Chili Sauce or General Tsao’s Stir Fry Sauce are excellent alternatives.

Can I use fresh vegetables?
Absolutely, just increase the cook time by a few minutes until they reach your desired tenderness.
