The Spicy Marinade. Add the remaining ingredients to a large mixing bowl and mix well.

Many readers have told me that they are interested in quick and easy recipes that can be made in just 30 minutes or less. Today I’m really excited to share this easy and delicious Japanese Stir Fry vegetable dish called Yasai Itame (野菜炒め).
