Sooo happy it is the weekend. So a few days ago here in Ohio it was 83 degrees! Today...36 degrees, oh and snow on the ground! Can you believe it?! I am ready for spring to stick around. I have this recipe for some really great Asian Stir Fry. I eat it for dinner or lunch, it works great as a lunch to take into work, put in the microwave for a few minutes and walah...you have some great stir fry that everyone wishes they had :)
Now I make this recipe with frozen vegetables. I love frozen vegetables because they stay fresh longer and they have just as much nutrients as fresh vegetables and are super easy to heat up. But, if your heart desires, you can use fresh vegetables instead!
Asian Stir Fry
Serves 2
Ingredients:
1/2 cup frozen broccoli
1/2 cup frozen asparagus
1/2 cup frozen red and yellow peppers
1/2 cup frozen spinach
1 small yellow onion chopped
3 garlic cloves minced
1 cup brown rice
Salt & Pepper to taste
Sauce:
1/3 cup olive oil
1/3 cup white wine
1/3 cup sweet and sour sauce
First bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the 1 cup of brown rice. Turn heat down to low and let simmer for about 40 minutes covered.
In a saute pan, add about a tbs. of olive oil and bring the pan to a medium heat. Once hot, add the onion and garlic. Let saute for a few minutes. Add the frozen broccoli, asparagus, red & yellow peppers, and spinach. Let the vegetables defrost for about 10-15 minutes. If you decide to use fresh vegetables, give them about 10 minutes.
Add in the rice once it is completely cooked. Stir. Add in the sauce mixture and let cook for another 7-10 minutes. Ready to serve! Sprinkle with Salt and Pepper as you like.
I love this dish...I especially love when the spinach is soaked up with the rice and the sauce, it is super tasty. Enjoy and Happy Friday!
