Cooks' Note

One taste and this quick and easy, low-glycemic meal will become a regular in your kitchen. Stir-fries are healthy, simple, and fun and require only a few guidelines—get the pan hot before you start, cut the food into pieces of about the same size to promote even cooking, and keep it moving with a wooden spoon or paddle or two. This stir-fry gets a special accent from Italian balsamic vinegar, a once exotic import now stocked by most supermarkets.
