Stir Frying
I've gotten into a rut during the workweek - due to being pressed for time.
I'd come home, grill a piece of meat or fish and have it with a salad or steamed veggie. It got boring and threatened my ability to stick with low carbing.
I've started stir frying and it's a nice change - mostly chicken breast pieces or shrimp, with vegetables.
It occurred to me that I could make stir fry recipes that are not Asian based - For example - chicken cubes, shrimp, beef or pork strips with different veggies, spices and sauces - based on Mexican, Italian or Classic seasonings -
So far I've tried pork with green chilis and sausage pieces stir fried with tomatoes and spinach - each with Mexican or Italian seasonings.
Next I'll make a Chicken Picatta type dish, then maybe a curry.
Any other suggestions? I'd like to compile a list of these quick stovetop meals.
I'm still finding I prefer fresh veggies to frozen - the frozen veggies seem to end up flabbier in a stir fry.
Thanks, NoSox
