Something Healthy for a Change-- Stir Fry

So, I decided that I would actually post something healthy today. I've been making this recipe since I was pregnant with Aiden, so almost 6 years now, and have tweaked it a bit from the original recipe I found on verybestbaby.com. I was looking for recipes that were good for pregnant women that would have all the nutrients that I would need. And hey, if it's good for pregnant ladies, then its good for everyone!

What is excellent about this recipe is that you can tweak it to whatever type of meat you want!

Chicken/Steak/Pork Stir Fry

1lb Your choice of Chicken breast, Steak, or Pork

a drizzle of Extra Virgin Olive Oil

2 16 oz bags of frozen stir fry veggies (I get the deluxe stir fry mix from Wally World because it doesn't have mushrooms in it)

2 Cloves of garlic, minced

1/2 cup Water

Sauce:

1 cup Water

6 Bullion cubes (to match type of meat you are using)

1 tsp Ground ginger

1 tsp Ground black pepper

1/4 cup Soy Sauce

2 1/2 T. Corn Starch

Directions:

Thinly cut the meat and cook in a large pan (I guess a wok if you have one, but I do mine in a 14" frying pan with deep sides) with Oil and Garlic until no longer pink. Add in Vegetables and water, cover and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

While meat and vegetables are cooking, put water and bullion cubes in microwave for 1 minute on high to soften bullion. Add in ginger, pepper, soy sauce, and corn starch. Add to Meat and Veggies.

Cook on low/med low heat until sauce has thickened and veggies are cooked through (about 10 minutes).

Serve over rice (my choice is brown rice)

MMMM, Yummy! And more than enough to also have left overs, which do warm up nicely in the microwave! Might not be as good as a Chinese restaurant, but if you want to know exatly what is in what you are eating, or live 50 miles away from the closest Chinese place (like me), it hits the spot!

Now I just need to find a fortune cookie recipe!!
