I would do the “I am a lazy college kid” method, which is:
Pre-cooked/seasoned chicken bits (I’d get big packages, cook it all up, and freeze until I needed it)
A bag of frozen “steam in the microwave” veggies
Olive oil
Seasonings
Rice
Process:
Put rice in rice cooker with water and a tiny bit of seasonings. Push “on”.
Drizzle a tiny bit of olive oil in a pan.
Dump chicken and veggies into pan; add seasonings.
Stir off and on until everything is cooked and/or rice is done.
Dump on plate.
GET IN MAH BELLEH.
Stir fries are my jam. I don’t eat meat, so I’ll often use tofu. Or nothing, because honestly if you do it right you don’t even need a protein in there. I cook the onion down to pretty much caramelized, then add whatever is in my vegetable drawer, some kind of sauce (soy, hoisin, sometimes just some wine and spices), and put it over rice or pasta. Basically, my recipe is “cut up whatever crap you have and fry it.”
Yum! I am basically making this tonight for dinner. I always add honey to my sauce – gives it that sweetness…What kind of hot sauce do you use?
