Stir Fry in a Wok is extremely easy, healthy and fun. There are dozens of Stir Fry Recipes on the net. The only problem is the time consuming preparation: mainly chopping the vegetables.
There are pre prepare veggies & marinated meat/sea food that can be purchase if time is an issue.

[Edit] As I have said above in 30 min you can chop & clean the veggies ++ cooking.

1. Chop 1 chicken breast & lightly marinate it with wine/fish sauce/soya sauce, or marinate 1 lbs of seafood mix. Let it sit while you prepare veggies.

2. Chop up any veggies/mushroom/onion that you like (4-5 different kinds & have green, white, red, yellow, orange).

3. One table spoon of olive (or any cooking) oil in wok at medium heat.

4. Crush 2-3 cloves of garlic with side of knife, and quickly de-husk & toss it into heat wok

5. Throw the meat/seafood in heated wok after the garlic has been in for 15-30 seconds, and heat till cook. Take out meat & wipe wok with a paper towel.

6. One table spoon of olive in heated wok at mid/high heat & hard veggies in for about 2-3 minutes before the soft veggies. Spray about 2 table spoons of wine in wok & tir & put lid on to speed up the cooking process. Check progess every 3 second & stir till almost cook.

7. Add pre cooked meat/seafood into wok/veggies, add 3-4 table spoons of sweet chili sauce, and stir ++ add soya sauce to taste.

Good ole Kentucky Fried Rice (KFR?)

Boil 2 bags of boil-in-bag rice in water with a few teaspoons of soy sauce. After the rice has cooked for a few minutes, drain and set it aside.

In a stir fry pan...

- melt 4-5 tablespoons margarine
- a couple tablespoons of soy sauce
- 1/3 teaspoon of ground cumin
- 1/3 to 1/2 teaspoon curry powder
- 1/3 to 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (or add a diced clove)

After this is sizzling, add...
- the rice
- 1 cup of leftover (ie. pre-cooked) diced chicken or turkey
- 1 cup of frozen peas

Fry this up until the rice is good and brown. Might need to add more margarine or soy sauce depending on your rice.

From start to finish, doesn't take more than 15 minutes.

(I've tried this using olive oil instead of margarine and it tasted like ass and burned easily. not recommended :)
