Quick Vegetable Stir-Fry w Shrimp & Chicken

One of my favorite cuisines is Chinese food. It's something I don't get to eat very often because my husband isn't a fan (go figure). When I do order it I always feel bad because it's kind of expensive and he's not even eating it. Luckily, my son has my taste buds.

When it comes to my Chinese food I am nothing if not routine . I pretty much order the same every time I go – some variation of shrimp and Chinese vegetables. I like either the classic white or brown sauce but typically it's the white sauce. Of course, I love egg drop soup, egg rolls, crab rangoon, and lettuce wraps too but that's a story for another day.

Recently, I just found out how economical not mention quick and easy making Chinese stir-fry at home is. I had no idea but I am now a huge fan because I can now have LOTS of stir-fry anytime I want. It's completely customizable too.

For this meal, I added all my favorite Chinese veggies and left out my not so favorite like carrots and peppers. I included mushrooms, zucchini, snap peas, water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, and baby corn. You can add whatever you like which makes me love it even more. Since I also had leftover chicken from my Easy Lemon Herb Roasted Chicken I included that in this dish as well. Since it was already cooked it made this meal come together in a snap.

For the classic white sauce, I used a Silicone Coated Tornado Whisk to combine the ingredients. It has a flat top, so it was perfect for stirring my sauce in a measuring cup. I could go straight down and whisk away. This whisk is perfect for whisking together any sauce or eggs (rather than a batter) because of the flex it has. 

Also, since it is coated in silicone I have no fear of it scratching my pans or bowls. It is made well and has some weight to it because of the stainless steel handle. I personally love all of the colors on the tornado whisk combined with the stainless steel. It makes it extra fun to use!

This sauce could easily be changed to a brown sauce just by adding 1/2 tsp more garlic and tablespoon molasses. This meal is great for weeknights coming together in less than 30 minutes and gives you TONS of veggies. Healthy and fast is the way to go!!

      Sounds like you are due for a good stir fry. I had some take out the other night but it’s not quite the same as making your own.
