I've recently been hearing this phrase a lot, and in places that having nothing really to do with food or stir fry in specific.
For example, someone talking about OneRepublic's new album: "some of the "fillers" aren't that great ... feels like I have heard it somewhere before and now it's just 'stir -fry alt. pop music'"
Various uses all seem to be in a similar light, though I can't quite put my finger on it. If I had to guess I'd say it's when something loses its uniqueness and/or quality and just becomes cliched and half assed. But I'm really not sure.
Does anyone know what it means?

You must unlearn what you have learned.

Maybe because you can cook lots of stuff together in five minutes with very little effort?

That makes sense; a reference to a generic feel is better represented by "bubblegum pop".
