Stir Fry Greatness

We do stir fry about once a week around these parts.  It's an easy way to get your veggies, and I'll find any excuse to use chopsticks!

Really all you do is chop up whatever veggies you wish and saute them in 1 1/2 tbsp sesame oil at medium-high heat.  Add and a dash of low sodium soy sauce, if you like it.  We use broccoli, cabbage, and red peppers.

In another pot, we start to steam bok choy.  I adore bok choy because it is a green leafy veggie full of magical things, and it is always more readily available to us than collard greens.  Though I almost always use it as a base for stir fry, it is often substituted for steamed collards.

Usually I just give Patton the leftover scraps from the veggies, but it is ill-advised to give animals cabbage and broccoli.  It causes tummy problems and results in lengthy gas.  But red bell peppers are OK, so he gets those (plus they are full of vitamin C!).  We then compost the rest of our refuse.

We usually cook everything for about ten minutes.  It's super easy! 

And because we're udon fiends, a lot of time that rice noodle goodness finds its way into one of our bowls (last night it was Matt's) :)

Enjoy!
