Quick Summer Stir Fry



With the summer heat upon us, I wanted a quick meal to throw together, while waiting for my Mom to fly into Texas from Ohio.  Because of storms, her flight was delayed!  My poor Mom, but she'll be here before you know it.  The point of this recipe is to use whatever fresh veggies you have on hand and throw in some leftover meat or chicken.  The measurements don't have to be exact.   Serve it over some rice and it's dinner!


A bunch of asparagus, tough ends trimmed and sliced into 1" pieces
Some fresh mushrooms
Some sliced onion
About 1 T. Olive oil
About 1 T. butter
A sprinkle of crushed red pepper
A clove or two of garlic, minced
One leftover cooked chicken breast, cut up
Several shakes of soy sauce
Cooked brown or white rice


Heat the olive oil and butter together in a non stick skillet. Add the mushrooms, asparagus and onion, crushed red pepper, and sauté for several minutes, until the asparagus is tender, around 7-8 minutes.   Add the garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds. Add the cooked chicken and add several shakes of soy sauce and heat through.

Serve over the cooked rice and dinner is ready!  I'm saving a plate for my Mom! 



I'm sharing this with:


Thank you for your visit!  xo

  4. Yum, I love Asian, had an Asian salad for dinner tonight.

    Something I do that makes a world of difference? In your Asian food store or aisle at your favorite super market buy some SESAME OIL - use that instead of olive oil. Oh Kitty, you will be so glad you did! Also sprinkle some ginger into your soy sauce. Another one I figured out, and these both added sooooo much good flavor. Let me know if you ever try it.

    Enjoy your mom's visit. Next time YOU come to see HER we will get together, ok? : - )

    Hugs.

    Anyway, I said it was my kind of cooking during the summer time.
    I'm glad your Mom made it safely to your home in TX & I hope you have a lovely visit. You're lucky to still have her to enjoy.

  11. I made this last night and it was a hit. I didn't have any rice so I substituted potatoes and subbed worcestershire in place of soy sauce. Hope you and your mother are having a great time.

    I realize today is your anniversary. Please know I care.

  14. I am HORRIBLE at stir fry, Kitty!!! I am pretty sure it's because of our stupid electric stove. I have been lobbying for a gas stove for years, but Ramon's not budging. It's not like I asked for a Wolf or Viking...he just doesn't like the idea of a gas stove. Weird, because HE'S not the one who cooks around here!!! Maybe if I just start burning his food a little more.......! ;-)
