Stir Fry Variations

This is super easy to make and super easy to vary. I like this one b/c you can pretty much make everyone happy! And if you wanted, you could keep all the veggies, eggs, and meat separate and make it a buffet style meal, letting you and your dinner guests decide what kind of meal they would like to make it!

Use as many or as few of the following veggies (use as much of each as you like too!):
Carrots, slivered or cut
Green pepper, chopped
Onion, chopped
Mushrooms, sliced
Peas, frozen or canned (drained)
Corn, frozen or canned (drained)
Water chestnuts

I usually use anywhere from 1/2 Cup to 1 Cup of the veggies I choose, just depending on how much food I need and how many veggies I include.

2 to 4 eggs, scrambled (optional)

1/4 to 1/2 stick of butter

2 Cups (or more) of cooked chicken, roast, top sirloin, or pretty much any meat that may sound good to you!

1 to 2 Cups rice, cooked (I cook this in a rice cooker but you could cook it on the stove too).

In a large skillet, combine cooked meat of choice, veggies of choice, scrambled eggs if desired, and butter. Heat over medium-low heat until warm all the way through, butter should be melted and veggies softened. Stir in cooked rice, heating for approx. 5 minutes, or until veggies are thoroughly cooked. Serve with or without soy sauce, or any other dressing that may sound good!
