10 Minute Vegetable Stir-fry

I am always scheduling something to do after work, as if I do not have enough on my plate. Between random babysitting nights, happy hours with girlfriends or coworkers, many gym classes at Lifetime Fitness and of course, trying to not miss any episodes of the Bachelorette, I am always looking for a quick, easy, and healthy dinner.

I am very much into my Wok and often find myself "inventing" different kinds of stirfry with an assortment of vegetables, tofu, chicken or shrimp. This stirfry is so easy because you can add what you want, let it sit on the stove and walk away to get other things done while it cooks. This stirfry is also nice because there is no recipe, just play with it and have fun!

Here is what I did in this recent stirfry:
  • Carrots
  • Tomatoes
  • Broccoli
  • Yellow Squash
  • Zucchini
  • Chicken (you can substitute for any kind of protein)
  • Olive oil
  • Salt and Pepper
  • Garlic Powder
  • Red Pepper
  • Gordon's Light Sesame and Peanut salad dressing
Simply simmer the vegetables and meat in the Wok for about 5 minutes, drain, add olive oil, spices and sauch, simmer again for a few minutes and you're done! This is great to make for dinner and save the leftovers for a quick and easy lunch. Have fun experimenting!
