This recipe is the perfect quick and easy weeknight or weekend dinner!

The Gochujang Vegetable Stir Fry pack is found in the freezer section and is packed with vegetables: broccoli, carrots, edamame, bell peppers and zucchini spirals. The red chili paste sauce is already mixed into the frozen vegetables. This dish is sweet & savory with just a touch of spice.

To make this a well-balanced meal, we added a 1-2 nutritional punch: shrimp for protein and mushrooms for extra vitamins, minerals & antioxidants.

Feel free to experiment with different protein sources each time you make this meal. It also works well with chicken and tofu.
