We’ve all experienced those late-night No Thai cravings, coupled with a complete inability to drag ourselves out of bed to pick it up. The next time those insatiable Chinese or Thai cravings overwhelm you, try making it yourself.
This recipe uses just six simple ingredients, many of which are likely to be stocked in your fridge already, and is completely customizable each time you make it. Change it up by adding some of your favorite meats or switching up the veggies. When salty rice or sauce-soaked noodles appear to be the only thing that can satisfy your hunger, stay in your pajamas and try this 20-minute, health-conscious recipe as a replacement. Your stomach (and your lazy legs) will definitely thank you.

Directions:
- Coat a nonstick pan with cooking spray and set over medium heat.
