Rice vinegar can be substituted for the apple cider vinegar, if you prefer. As with most stir-fry recipes, the vegetables are merely a suggestion; use your favorites or whatever looks like it's been sitting too long in your crisper.

Oodles of Noodles
When stir-frying a saucy veggie dish, you can add quick-cooking Asian-style noodles right into the pan. Add some extra sauce ingredients and a fourth to a third cup of water. Add the noodles, stir up the sauce, reduce the heat so the veggies don't scald, and keep covered for just a few minutes.
