Asian Inspiration

After having a cold this weekend I decided I needed a dinner with some spicy flava! With that in mind I made my favorite (as of now) dish: stir fry. The difference is I modify it to suit my taste. The only downside to my modifications is I don't measure anything- I enjoy a pinch of this and a dash of that. This is by far Sonny's favorite dish and it is so quick and simple. For those who are curious, here is the recipe:

Choose your meat (chicken, beef, or shrimp- or a combination of them)
Brush a large pan (not pot) with oil (as opposed to using the recommended 2 tbsps.)
Stir fry your meat on high.

In a small bowl mix in soy sauce and water (2:1 ratio)
Stir in brown sugar (I suggest about 1 tbsp.)
A dash of paprika, cayenne, black pepper.
A squirt of sirachi sauce (depending on what type of heat you want)
This time I included parsley and teriyaki glaze (which you can do without- just add more sugar then)
A couple of shakes of garlic powder and ginger
And....Wahlah!

After the meat has stir fried (about 2 - 4 mins) mix in the sauce. Stir for a minute.

Add in frozen veggies. (I really like WalMart's frozen stiry fry veggies, I personally think it beats Publix- the snap peas and everything really, are so crisp!)
Reduce the heat to med/low and cover. Let simmer for about 5 mins.

Serve with rice, noodles, or eat just like that. Either way it is sure to please the palate!

Enjoy!
