Taking a Wok


Hi Ladies!

Since the Christmas/ New Year indulgences are over, I've been craving healthy food. Specifically stir fry. Until last night, I had never made stir fry for my family. Shocking, I know. Especially for some of you, like Becky, who cook up this tasty dish on a regular basis (Becky's stir fry).

Well, last night I took the stir fry plunge and totally gorged on the veggies part. I wish I had a picture of how pretty the plated dish was, but the steaming food was in my mouth before a camera came to mind. Dinner consisted of: steamed broccoli, orange wedges, Texmati rice, beef, scallion and red bell pepper stir fry. (A super easy recipe). No one else wanted the bell peppers, so I ate them all, an entire stir fried bell pepper.

Stir fry is definitely going to be a regular part of our 2011. I will be walking and woking all year.

  1. The stir fry link: http://www.cooks.com/rec/view/0,1727,153162-243197,00.html.

    No clue why the link didn't work.

  2. That sounds so yummy! I need to give it a try and see if my family will eat it up. Little kids are so picky! (at least my little kids are)

  5. I haven't made that stir-fry in a while, and I never thought of oranges! My in-laws gave us a big box of oranges for Christmas, I'm going to have to work them into a stir-fry. Thanks!

  6. Becky, the orange wedges were on the side. So was the broccoli (because I knew it would be more likely to be eaten that way).

  7. I received a wok for Christmas and have LOVED it!! I even researched how to make 'healthy' egg rolls (baking, not frying etc.) and my family agrees that they taste better that way. We've been using brown rice too. YUMMO!
