College Kid Stir-fry

-Bag of Steamable Broccoli
-1/2 Onion
-Mushrooms
-1 Tablespoons Minced Garlic
-1 Boil-in-Bag Whole Grain Brown Rice
-Reduced Sodium Soy Sauce
-Any type of meat you prefer, it can even be frozen!
-Spices (Salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder)
-Olive Oil (You can use Vegitable Oil too!) for frying

Put broccoli in the microwave as instructed on the bag. Go ahead and put a pan on medium to low heat with 4-5 tablespoons of oil. Cut up your onion, mushrooms, and begin boiling your rice, and your meat if it's frozen (not together of course). (Chicken or pork are two popularly used meats in stir-fry. They even sell pre-sliced strips of beef at wal-mart for this purpose!) For thawed meat, fry separately, then add to veggies.

Next, add broccoli, onion, mushrooms, garlic, and spices to the pan. Pour the desired amount of soy sauce to your veggies (Remember, you can always add more to your own plate!) Stir vegetables, until they are lightly sauteed. Add drained rice, to one side of the pan (scoot the veggies to another side, pulling half the pan off the burner.) Slightly fry rice, then mix alltogether.

Get your meat and cut up in chunks, or pull apart if possible. If your meat was boiled, fry in one side of the pan until brown, then toss in veggie mix. Stir alltogether.


Tips/Hints:
-For buying mushrooms, look to see if the caps are tight to the stem. The more "closed" they are, the fresher they are.

-There are many ways to make stir-fry. Another easy substitute is to buy a steamable bag full of mixed veggies, then add them to rice!

-Many people like eggs in their stir-fry, so mix it up!
