### The Simple Instructions
1. **Prep your protein**: Season your chicken, beef, shrimp, or tofu with salt and pepper. Cut into bite-sized pieces for easy cooking.
2. **Sauté**: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and garlic, cooking for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Then add your protein and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
3. **Add vegetables**: Toss in your choice of vegetables and cook for another 3-4 minutes, just until they’re tender but still crisp.
4. **Mix in the sauce**: Stir in your sauce of choice, ensuring everything is well coated. Let it simmer for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
5. **Garnish and serve**: Sprinkle fresh herbs on top and serve hot. You can pair it with rice, pasta, or enjoy it on its own!
