"going down to china town"

So Sunday after a great day of some R&R, Jordann and I thought we should have a dinner and games night. This dinner was great! We met up at J&B, and Cara and the J’s (Jordann and John) went to the store and cooked, whilst I went to get some delicious boxed Chardonnay at the soon-to-be-former strip. I was really in a stir-fry mood, so we went for it. It was all too delicious. The vegetables are of course loaded with vitamins, the garbanzo beans and corn add essential amino acids, and the broccoli also provides iron for a really filling and rounded meal. Stir fried veggies, white rice and spring rolls: scrumditilyumptious! The games were grand too - Jordann won spoons!




If two white girls can do it, so can you.

Here’s how:


Rice:
2 cups white long grain rice (or whatever rice you want)
2 cups water
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1/8 tsp salt

Directions:
This is just the way we made our rice, and it came out slightly sticky which is perfect. You can also find a million recipes for rice online, or simply follow the directions on the package.

Combine rice, water, oil, and salt in a medium sized cooking pot
Bring to a boil
Cook on low heat for 25 – 30 minutes


Stir-fry Ingredients:
You can really add whatever vegetables you desire. These are just some of our favs.

Water chestnuts
Broccoli
Baby carrots
Corn
Peas
Cauliflower
Mushrooms
Garbanzo beans
Teriyaki sauce
Paprika
Ground red pepper
Curry powder
Onion powder
Garlic powder
½ c. Soy milk
4 ½ tbsp. cornstarch
Love!

Directions:
Put all of the vegetables in a wok with a few tablespoons of oil. Sautee the vegetables for a bit, and add the teriyaki and spices. For a thicker & creamier sauce, add the soy milk and cornstarch to the vegetables. When they are all cooked, top the rice with the vegetables and chow down!




In progress.

We also had these awesome vegan spring rolls from the freezer section of the grocery store. They were Chung’s frozen vegetable spring rolls (next time we'll make them from scratch, maybe.) and they did NOT disappoint!



Yes.
