Stirred, not shaken, once again


Stir fry is one of my go-to quickie meals. Throw some rice in the rice cooker, chop some veggies, slice some meat, throw it in the pan and 20 minutes later you've got dinner. And I pretty much always have onions, carrots and broccoli for veggies. Soy sauce, ground ginger, garlic and a OJ for the sauce are pretty much staples, too. This time, I had some bok choy to throw in there, as well, and some green onions to sprinkle it with. I usually grab some chicken boobs for the meat, but this time I had some pork that needed using so we had pork stir fry.

As usual, the kids pretty much turned their noses up at it, except they liked the meat. All three of them ate the pork and the rice. Emma ate the carrots, too. The pork did come out incredibly tender, almost melt in your mouth yummy. Maybe I need to grab pork a little more often and leave the chicken boobs unmolested when making stir fry.

You'd think that since the kids don't really like it, I'd give up and stop making stir fry, but I love it. And I get to eat leftovers for lunch the next day.
