Quick, Easy and Tasty Stir Fry No.1

Picked the kids up last night from childcare and Klaudia was very, very clear she wanted a stir-fry for dinner. At the beginning of each week I try to involve them in the rough plan of dinners for the week and she had obviously realised this was still to come..... After a huge day for us all, the thought of then cooking a 'Stir Fry' from scratch seemed very unappealing. Fortunately though, also at the beginning of each week, I attempt to pre-chop most of the veggies required for all the planned dinners to cut down on preparation time on the night.... obviously this makes a difference on my statement 'quick and easy'!! :)

Following is last nights stir fry version:

Quick, Easy and Tasty Stir Fry No.1

3 shallot's, finely diced
3 cloves of garlic, finely diced
1 tbsp of fresh ginger, peeled and finely diced
500g of Pork, sliced (you could use any meat of your choice)
1 medium Zucchini, thinly sliced
1 medium Carrot, thinly sliced
1 medium Capsicum, thinly sliced
2 bunches of Bok Choy, roughly chopped
3 eggs, whisked
Coconut Oil
Coconut Amino Sauce (I use niulife)
Sesame Seeds

100% Bean Thread Noodles (Mung Bean)

 

- Heat  some oil in a large wok and cook egg to an omelette, remove from pan, slice and set aside
 

- Heat more oil and stir-fry pork until brown, remove from pan and set aside (you may need to do this in two batches to prevent from 'stewing'
 

- Empty bean noodles into bowl and cover in warm water, allow to soak until clear. Whilst this is happening continue with next stages...

- Heat a bit more oil (remember this forms part of your flavour and Coconut Oil is actually good for you!!!) add shallot's, ginger and garlic. Cook for a few minutes ( the aroma is fantastic!). Add zucchini, carrots, capsicum and stir-fry until starting to soften. Return pork to the pan. Add bok choy and Amino Sauce for flavour. Its important for you to decide how much based on the intensity of flavour you were after( I use a bit cause I LOVE the stuff!!)

 - Once noodles appear translucent, add to stir-fry and mix through. I found it easier to use thongs.

- Once done, serve in bowl, sprinkle with egg and sesame seeds and your finished....

 

EASY!!!

 

Remember... by giving yourself a rough meal plan each week and then preparing for them, it takes away sooooo many stresses and allows you to continue cooking great, nutritious meals with minimal effort!!!

Let's be honest, especially during the working week, 'minimal effort' is the BEST and ONLY style of cooking with a young family!!

Another great bonus.... Klaudia woke up this morning and said she wanted 'Stir Fry' for breakfast too.... I cant argue with that!!.... I decided it sounded like a great idea and had some too..... YUM!!!
