So now I have two followers. I am amazed, even if they are close friends of mine, but this is a cause for celebration! And I have celebrated with vegetable stir-fry, the easiest and possibly most yummiest instant snack/meal that sounds hard and hopeless, but is easy-squeezy.
Can you guys see my loverly herbies on my deck in that picture up there? They don't taste so well in this recipe, but they taste good in homemade pasta sauce. But that's another recipe, for another day.
Vegetable Stir-Fry! Recipe as follows:
1.)Around 2 cups, or however much you want of chopped cabbage, kale, or some kind of thick green vegetable found in the bottom drawer of your fridge. Broccoli and carrots also flatter my taste buds as well.
2.) A couple tablespoons soy sauce, or to taste.
3.) About a 1/4 teaspoon of ground or fresh ginger. (again, put in as much or as little...whatever floats your boat. Mine floats with a lot of ginger.
4.)Sesame oil. If no sesame oil, canola/vegetable/olive oil works too.
So: Chop all vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Heat a TB or so of the oil in a big fry pan. After a couple seconds, toss in the veggies, mix around with a wooden spoon, and put a lid on it while they soften and steam. After about 5 minutos, take the lid off, add soy sauce and ginger, and *stir* while it *fries*
Watch the vegetables. This is the best part: The vegetables that are green, (especially broccoli) will turn this amazing, vibrant, fresh mowed grass color, and it's so amazing that you may be forced into taking pictures, as I do regularly. And then you turn off the flame, (very important) fill up a big 'ole bowl, and BON APPETIT.
In case you didn't notice, vegetable stir-fry is about as versatile and vegetarian-bounty-full as you can get, perfect for all veg-heads like me! FUN FACT: leonardo da vinci was a vegetarian. And, as you can see in my hate-filled sink picture, dirty pots and pans don't quite get along as well with me as the food does. But the good cook rule goes as follows: Clean up as you go, so there's less of a mess at the end. I don't really follow that rule, but I hope I will someday. :)
Food for Thought: If we're allowed to eat cows, why aren't the cows trying to eat us?? Nothing against you non-vegetarians, I'm just sparking debate in my own head. And now it's on my blog.
