Nothing is easier than a quick stir fry!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

I love Asian food and don’t know why I don’t cook it more often. Remember my Wok’n Noodles? I made that dish after seeing a restaurant in Paris called Wok’n Noodles and I thought that would be a cute name for a noodle dish and for some reason the tune “Walkin to New Orleans” (Wok’n) popped into my head. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

We did a going away party in early January for friends who moved to China for three years. It was really a fun party and got me thinking about some old Asian inspired recipes I use to prepare.<\/p>\n

My sister and I have made this recipe for at least 15 years and I use to make it quite often. This time I decided to add some sugar snap peas along with the snow peas. I love the crunch from the sugar snaps because they stay nice and plump and add a lot of texture to the dish.<\/p>\n

So, if you are looking for a dish that is so quick to throw together, please try this; and you can even use instant rice if you are in a pinch for time.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

(Totally carb friendly if you leave out the rice and substitute cauliflower rice.)<\/p>\n

BLAST FROM THE PAST:<\/strong><\/span> Here’s that Wok’n Noodle<\/a> recipe I was talking about.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_1173\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I used sugar snap peas and snow peas.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_1176\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Everything ready to go.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_1177\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"DSC_1181\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Put the meat into the marinade.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_1182\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Heat the oil in a wok or skillet until hot and then stir your onions for a few minutes.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_1184\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Remove the onions and add in the thin slices of beef.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_1188\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Add in the mushrooms and then you can put your onions back in.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_1190\"<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Toss in the rest of the veggies and give a quick stir fry.<\/p>\n

      Mix the soy sauce, cornstarch, sherry and sugar together. Add the sirloin strips to this mixture and set aside.<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

      Heat a skillet and add 2 tablespoons of the oil. Add the mushrooms and salt and pepper and stir about 2 minutes. Remove the mushrooms to a dish and add in the remaining oil and the onions.<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

      Add the beef mixture to the skillet and cook until meat is no longer pink. (Or, you can leave a little pink -- that's the way I like it.) This will only take a couple of minutes<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

      Recipe Notes<\/h3>\n\t\t

      *Note: most of our stores here no longer carry fresh bean spouts since that E. coli outbreak with sprouts a few years ago. So, if you can't find them, buy a can of sprouts, and drain and rinse before using.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
