A big wok full of veggie stir-fry was my "go-to" dish in college. Frozen vegetables work well enough if money is really tight, but if you're willing to work with whatever is in season (or on sale) at the grocery store, you can get a lot of variety and flavor without spending much. Fresh ginger and garlic, along with some soy and sweet chili sauce, is really all you need for seasoning; protein can come from tofu, chicken, or really any meat or seafood item; carbs come from rice or ramen noodles that are boiled and then tossed in to sautee once all the veggies are done.
