- Cook the Protein: Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Season the protein with salt and pepper, then cook until golden and fully cooked through. Set aside.
- Prepare the Veggies: In the same pan, add a bit more oil if needed, and sauté the garlic and vegetables until softened, about 5-7 minutes. This brings out their natural sweetness and flavor.
- Combine: Add the cooked protein back to the pan with the veggies, then pour in your sauce of choice. Stir everything together and let it simmer for a few minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Add Rice or Noodles: Stir in the cooked rice or noodles, making sure everything is coated with that tasty sauce. Let everything heat through.
- Finish with Fresh Herbs: Garnish with your favorite fresh herbs or a sprinkle of chili flakes if you like a bit of heat. Serve hot and enjoy!
