Stir-Fry

We recently started to get the Food Network magazine and let me tell you it is totally worth it!!! They have some great gourmet looking recipes that are so easy and simple.
This recipe is great because you can add, subtract, or replace about anything you want. For instantce if you would rather have chicken instead of shrimp. Then go right ahead! Get creative and change it up. Make sure you leave a comment though and let us know what you changed so we can try it!

Add 2 tablespoons oil, then 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 to 2 tablespoons minced ginger, 2 minced scallions and a pinch each of salt and sugar; stir-fry about 30 seconds.
