Ever need a quick & easy 15 minute meal that's better than takeout? I've got the perfect solution. It is so easy and so flavorful, that I'm sure you'll be making it very often once you try it. This was an “everything but the kitchen sink” kind of meal. What I love about this meal is that: 1. Its easy 2. Its quick 3. Its perfect for when you have a bunch of leftovers 4. The variations are endless 5. Its comforting and filling 6. Its balanced 7. Its DELICIOUS I mean... what else could you ask for? Hahaha. And by the way, as for #4, I really mean it. There's seriously so many variations to this meal, that you don't have to worry about not having one of the ingredients I have listed in the recipe because you can literally swap it with whatever you have on hand. This is a perfect example of one of the variations I've made depending on the ingredients I have in my house. This time I used brown rice, asparagus, curry powder (because I was feeling fancy), sesame oil because I had it on hand, and "Everything But The Bagel" seasoning on top. So don't be afraid to play around with the recipe. Make it your way! If you want to add more of one veggie instead of the other, go ahead! If you want steak instead of chicken, go ahead! Have fun with it. Doesn't that look delicious? Okay, enough talking, let's get cooking! Ingredients for stir fry: (1 serving) - Zucchini, chopped - Tomato sliced - Red onion, thinly sliced (any onion would work) - Brussels sprouts, cut into halves - Bell peppers, chopped - 1 tsp garlic-infused olive oil (or any oil) - 1/4 tsp Low sodium soy sauce - 2 tsp red cooking wine - 1-2 tbsp Coconut Aminos (I like Trader Joes or Coconut Secret) - 1 tbsp Trader Joes Gyoza Sauce (or more soy sauce and add 1 tsp coconut sugar or brown sugar) - Leftover Cooked Chicken - 1/4 tsp Garlic Powder - Salt & Black Pepper, to taste - Dash of Powdered Ginger Extra ingredients: - Leftover Cooked Quinoa (or brown rice) - 1 tsp garlic-infused olive oil (or any oil, or butter) - Pinch of Salt - Sesame Seeds (to sprinkle on top) Directions: - In a large non-stick pan (or wok if you have one), add 1 tsp oil and let it heat up on medium-high. When the pan is hot, add onion, zucchini, bell peppers, brussels sprouts, tomato, and give it a pinch of salt and pepper. - Once the onions look translucent, turn the heat down to Medium, and add Cooking Wine, Cooked Chicken, Low-sodium Soy sauce, Coconut Aminos, Gyoza Sauce, and season with the Garlic powder, and Powdered Ginger. - While the sauce thickens, grab a bowl and add your cooked quinoa, olive oil, pinch of salt, and heat it up in the microwave for 30-45 seconds. - Once the quinoa is hot, turn off the stove, and pour the stir-fry over your quinoa. Top with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and devour right away. As I was writing this post I was thinking of how good this recipe was and now I'm craving it... Any guesses as to what I'll have for lunch today? Hahaha. Yep, its that good. I hope you give this recipe a try and that you love it as much as I do.
