Have to agree here.

Case in point: Stir-fry. Total cooking time maybe six minutes with a
really hot wok. Total prep time easily thirty to forty minutes depending
on how many vegetables you toss in. Impeccable knife skills won't help
you here, especially if you like a fine, Cantonese dice on the veggies.
That's why you see Yan dice one carrot and then reach for the bowl...

3) Found Object Seafood Stir-Fry:

If you're lucky enough to have a Trader Joe's in your neighborhood, they
sell an *amazing* 1 lb. bag of frozen seafood random. This is scallops
and shrimp and calamari -- it's just an amazing thing to have in the
freezer. They also sell frozen Asian Stir-fry vegetables with sauce pack.

1 pack TJ's seafood random
1 pack TJ's Asian Stir-fry vegetables
1 tbsp peanut oil
1 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tspn Sriracha (hot sauce)
dash sesame oil

Heat the wok up. Toss in the peanut oil. Throw in the *frozen* vegetable
pack. When thawed and starting to cook, throw in the *frozen* seafood
pack. When the seafood has thawed pour off as much of the water as you
can (quickly, doesn't need to be dry, just drier). Toss in the flavor
pack and remaining ingredients and cook until the seafood is done
(calamari and scallops are done very quickly, but make sure the shrimp
has some color). Serve over rice from the rice cooker (just to speed
things up more).

Total prep time: ~10 minutes (including rice, but not counting rice
cooking time, since it can be done one to two sitcoms prior to starting
stir-fry)

NB: You may want to try this with just the flavor packet first, since
I've stated most of my Found Object cuisine recipes are predicated on my
feeling that all consumer food products are bland.
