Simple stir-fry recipe
Reader Elaine asked if we could post the recipe for the stir-fry we've been making at home for the last few weeks.
It's so simple I'm almost embarassed to call it a recipe. We usually buy the ingredients at Harris Teeter, but you can get this stuff just about anywhere. I went to Food Lion the other night and saved some money doing it.
Anyway, here's what we do. It's pretty simple, as we're not expert cooks.
Ingredients:
1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breast diced
(260 calories, 3 grams fat)
6 oz. Eat Smart Vegetable stir-fry mix
(includes fresh cut broccoli, snow peas, carrots, red cabbage - 50 calories, 0 fat)
2 tbsp. Kikkoman Stir-Fry Sauce
(20 calories per tbsp., 0 fat, 520 mg of sodium)
2 cups rice (410 calories, 1 gram fat)
Simply dice chicken and brown in a large pan. Drain any excess fat or water.
Add stir fry mix and stir fry sauce and let simmer for about 5 minutes.
Serve over rice.
Divided into two equal servings the whole thing is 380 calories and 2 grams of fat per serving. And that would be two very large servings. We usually have a bit left over.
You can also steam the vegetables seperately -- any vegetables you like, really -- if you don't like them stir fried with the sauce and the chicken.
We think it's pretty delicious.
