STIR FRIES!

[Susie Snowdrop]

That's what I'm cooking this evening but, I always make it the same way and wondered how you lovely lot cooked yours? Actually, it's a sly way of trying to improve mine

Chicken, onions, red peppers, sugar snaps, courgettes, bean sprouts, water chestnuts, mushrooms, baby corn, noodles, olive oil, 5 spice and lemon juice, soy sauce and pepper ;D

I'm now off to cook it so look forward to coming back and seeing your ideas ;D

I cant beat that Susie - sounds OK to me

I ALWAYS use soy sauce - to give it bite - or some sherry - if you have any in the house

Sometimes I add chinese noodles

I just bung 'it all' in the pan and hope for the best ;D

('it all' is whatever I have that is somewhat suitable for a stir-fry )

Always do an egg fried rice to which i add soy sauce, lime juice, honey, garlic, chilli, ginger, chopped onions, peppers and mushrooms, peas, sweetcorn and pineapple.

Sometimes i also chuck in a load of fried bacon.

Always make a big bowl of this and keep it in the fridge so i can have some for lunch (or even breakfast ;D )...lasts for a few days.

I did a stirfry last night...did the egg fried rice as above but i have a selection of stuff that always comes in handy for stirfries.....

Soy sauce, teriyaki sauce
white wine vinegar
lime juice
lemon juice
honey
soft brown sugar
worcester sauce
balsamic vinegar
"Very lazy" ginger
"very lazy" garlic
"very lazy" chilli

And they all go in the stir fry in varying amounts and get reduced down to make a nice sauce.

OH laughs at me when I buy that stuff cos he thinks it's easier just to buy the sauce. He doesn't complain when I cook the stuff though!

[Susie Snowdrop]

Same here . OH's idea of cooking a meal is opening a tin, a packet, the freezer door or the takeaway menu

Must admit though, sometimes I buy stuff thinking "ooh I saw that in a recipe I wanted to make" but after I buy it, I can't remember or find the recipe it was in and it sits in the cupboard for ages lol
