Stir fry Ideas
I am crazy about stir fry dishes. They are really easy to make if you have some fresh veggies on hand.
First you need to decide if you want to have a home-made sauce or pre-made. I like to do home-made.. it's cheaper.
My sauce recipe:
To a couple of cups of water add the following according to your taste:
Soy sauce or bullion cubes, ginger, garlic, lemon juice
Thicken with cornstarch. I usually add 2 heaping tablespoons of cornstarch to a cup of water and mix. Then add that to the boiling sauces to thicken. Cover and set aside.
Daddy used to just use cream of mushroom soup. I remember that was pretty delicious too!
Brown meat: You can use beef, chicken, shrimp, crab or lobster or if you want a huge cut in your budget, go vegetarian! The peanuts will replace the protein!
Remove meat from pan and add around 2 tablespoons of oil.
Saute any of the following fresh vegetables (or whatever you have on hand):
broccoli
carrots
bell peppers
mushrooms
snow peas or sugar snap peas
Or you can buy a frozen mix.
I like to add peanuts or water chestnuts for crunch.
Pour over rice, cooked spaghetti (called lo mein), or chow mein noodles.
