Ok I hate cooking whew now that I have that out of my system I can continue...
I usually do a beef and broccilli stir fry with one of the pre packaged sauces I know not very creative but I was hoping someone out there has a healthier way.
If I'm going to ever learn I may as well start with the healthy way:bigsmile:

Unfortunately, I would either go to the gym to allow for the pre-packaged sauces, or cook with low-sodium soy with butter-flavored Pam (great to spray on popcorn, by the way).0

hmmm, I don't always use recipies, but if it were me I would saute the beef in a little olive oil and some fresh ginger, fresh garlic, red pepper flakes and a splash cooking wine, then I would add broccoli for the last couple mins(I like it al dente) and drizzle with a little raw honey at the end and season it while hot with a little salt.0

Usually all that's added to stir fries is the following...
Put 1 or 2 tbsp of oil into a wok
Once it pops if you flick water at it, throw in some finely chopped green onions and garlic.
Let it sizzle for about 3 minutes, then start tossing in your veggies.
Then add about 2-3 tbsp of low sodium soy sauce, and about a half cup of water (more or less, add slowly because the amount varies based on veggie choices and size of the dish you're making).
Thicken it up with some corn starch if you really want to, but its not that necessary.
That's how my friend from China taught me. Most Chinese food is actually really simple because the people who came up with it were really poor.0 -
I make a stir fry sauce with
4 TBSP low sodium soy sauce
4TBSP low sodium chicken broth
2 TBSP rice vinegar
a few drops of tobbasco sauce
1 to 2 TBSP corn starch
Mix it all together and add to your veggies and meat. I like my stir fry saucy, so I've doubled the amounts. We usually get about 3 or 4 servings from this...0
