Easy Stir Fry

August 18, 2008 > 7 Comments

Stir fry is an easy way to use up all those leftover vegetables you have sitting in the bottom drawer of your fridge. Usually the night before shopping I have a hodge podge of vegetables that alone would not serve our family, but mixed together make a great frugal and nutritious dish.

The recipe is below, although tonight I added red onion and did not use any yellow pepper.

Easy Stir Fry

Ingredients

Coat frying pan with olive oil. On medium heat saute’ garlic and onions. After 2 to 3 minutes add green beans, celery, pepper and squash. In 2 to 3 more minutes add carrots and chicken. Add enough soy sauce that all the vegetables are coated with sauce. Add cabbage and cook another 2 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle with Adobo seasoning. Add noodles last and cook until heated. Serve immediately.

These are the noodles I use for the stir fry.

This meal takes under 30 minutes to prepare, and even less time if you chop the veggies during lunch prep earlier in the day. Even my pickiest eater ate this, although we did bribe him a little.

Adding the veggies

Ready to eat

This meal cost under $1.50 for eight people since everything except the noodles and soy sauce were purchased for another meal.
