I like to make stir fries for a quick weeknight dinner.  I can have everything chopped up and ready to go, and then it only takes 15 minutes to cook the dinner together when I get home from running the kids back and forth to lessons.  Sweet and Sour Pork is a classic, and a favorite with my children.
