Stir Fry

I hate wasting things- food, time, money, paper … I think it’s a result of being raised in the “recycle, reduce re-use” era.  I had some leftover brown rice in the fridge from a salmon dinner and was debating what it’s new purpose could be.  I decided on stir fry since I had a drawer full of veggies from the farmer’s market. I had a strange mixture of veggies, but I just went with it- cabbage, red onion, carrots, celery, fresh parsley, and a few radishes.  

I sauteed everything but the parsley in sesame seed oil and soy sauce.  I also added in garlic and good old salt and pepper.  I cut up the radishes really small for a little spicy crunch and then sprinkled in the parsley.

Then I added in the rice.

And I had some of this delicious marinade in the fridge and threw some in.  Side note- this marinade is amazing!  I’ve used it with lettuce wraps- delicious.

And voila!  My husband especially enjoyed it.  Delicious, healthy, and it all was just waiting for me in the fridge.
