Shannon’s asking us to share our favorite FAST three ingredient meal today.
My three ingredients are rice, chicken, and a packet of frozen Oriental stir-fry veggies. I start my rice cooking in the rice cooker (–what? you don’t have a rice cooker? Ask for one for Christmas. Thank me in January.) Then I chop my chicken in bite sized cubes and stirfry it with some garlic, black pepper and oil (sesame oil is extra yummy). I zap the frozen veggies in the microwave for a couple minutes to take the ice off them. Then once I have my chicken cooked, I add the frozen veggies and stirfry it all til it is hot. Add soy sauce to taste, and there you have it– a healthy 3-ingredient meal in about 20 minutes.
Works for me!
I'm Mary, wife to John, and mom to 10 kids ages 3-20. Six of them were adopted, from Ethiopia and Korea. I spend my days applying Bandaids, reminding kids to use their inside voices, persuading kids fractions are useful, cooking spicy ethnic food, and snapping gig after gig of pictures. Very late at night, I write about it all.
I love my orange chicken stir-fry. It is my daughters favorite food.
Amen! This is our favorite too!
I cook everything in the rice cooker! I think I use it mainly for oatmeal and applesauce.
That sounds great! We love stir fry here. I posted our quick recipe for Cuban Black Beans & Rice (Frijoles negros) at my blog. We’re Cuban so our quick recipes tend to be ones my mother-in-law has taught me.
Oh and a rice cooker is definately on my wish list. My MIL has one and I covet it! LOL
Sounds yummy and super easy! I’ll have to try that.
It’s on my Christmas List! I told my hubby “everyone with a child from Ethiopia needs one” he did a quick count in his head and said “we don’t have an Ethiopian child” my response……… “not yet”
