I love spicy food. In fact I cannot eat bland food. Hence, I cook spicy food. Stir-frys are the easiest fix when I am really hungry. I always try and keep some chopped tomatoes and onions in my fridge, so that when I am hungry I do not get lazy to cook [I make lunch for only myself so have to motivate myself harder to cook and avoid eating out or unhealthy!]. So below is what I would call a satisfying-filling-well-balanced lunch. Let me know what you think!
My version of Stir-fried Brown Rice
Sautée one chopped tomato, small brown onion and one green chilli [Serrano pepper]
Steamed Vegetables
[Snow-peas, Red Peppers, Mushrooms, Water chestnuts, and Baby Corn]
Slice the chicken breast into thin strips [for my husband!]
Add the vegetables and chicken to the mixture and let is simmer
After about 2-3 minutes
add a bowl of boiled brown rice to the sautéed vegetables and chicken
Add salt to taste, and let is simmer for about 5 more minutes
And then serve warm!
P.S. I absolutely suck at writing recipes, 'coz I really cook as my heart desires. But I have made an attempt here as few readers asked me to. Hope this helps!
Happy Monday! Did everyone have a good weekend?
this is my fav easy to do dish also, i keep making variants of it by changing the spices and by adding diff diff things to it.
ReplyDeletepav bhaji masala gives simple rice dishes a very nice taste.
That looks absolutely delicious! I would definitely make the chicken version, I love chicken! And I hate having bland food too, I'm always adding spices of one sort or another!

I like to make something similar, but for the sauce, I usually am a bit lazier and go with a combination of sriracha and soy sauce. It's always a go to dinner when I'm trying to get rid of left over produce.
ReplyDeleteAgain, I'm sorry I missed you on your trip to Boston, we'll definitely have to meet up the next time.
Looks delish! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteStir-fry is my FAVORITE!
