Easy Stir Fry

I like cooking elaborate dishes; the more steps involved the better and more rewarding.  That being said, I don't always feel like being in the kitchen and spending my free time taking care of meals.  Sometimes, I'm hungry and I want to eat soon.  Unfortunately, for many people, that means cooking things from boxes or not cooking anything at all, which is sad.  Good food can be made simply and quickly.  Like this stir fry.  As long as you've got thawed meat and veggies, you're golden! 



Hubby and I play around with stir fry, using different meats and veggies.  One evening I made it with pork, bell pepper, and onion.  One day hubby used shrimp and a frozen veggie stir-fry mixture we picked up.  Those mixes are handy! 

Take this recipe lightly and loosely; do what you want!

Easy Stir Fry
  • 2 pork chops, sliced into thin strips (the thinner the strips, the faster they'll cook)
  • 2 green bell peppers, sliced thinly
  • 1 large onion, sliced thinly
  • olive oil
  • soy sauce
  • oyster sauce 

In a large skillet, heat oil then brown the strips of pork.  Sprinkle soy sauce over the meat to give it a little flavor.  Once the pork is cooked thoroughly (it will take a few minutes per side) remove to a bowl. 

Add the bell pepper and onion into the pan.  Cook over medium heat until tender.  Return the pork to the pan.  Stir in approximately 2 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tbsp oyster sauce.  For more sauce, increase amounts.
