- Add the Sauce: Pour in the honey garlic sauce. Let it bubble, thicken, and coat every inch like a moisturizing face mask.
- Stir-Fry Veggies: In another pan, toss veggies in olive oil. Sizzle for 5 minutes until vibrant and tender-crisp.
- Combine & Serve: Mix everything together, toss like a diva’s hair flip, and serve hot with steamed rice or noodles.
