The dish that started it all…

So I have been thinking about doing this for a little while, even spoke to some of my foodie friends about it last week.  Tonight my training allowed me to be home around dinner time (something rare these days) and I thought crap, I have nothing to eat and went reaching for the good old plain oatmeal.

Then I thought well let’s have a look at what I can throw in the pan (considering I haven’t done grocery in about 3 weeks) and VOILA!!  This was actually very very yummy, lean yet nutritious!

Are you leaning in closer to see what is in there?  Okay here goes…  For this one I am not going to specify quantities because I just threw in what was in the fridge/pantry.

Here is how I navigated through this dish!

1)     Spray large non stick pan with PAM or EEVO Spray

2)     Add sliced beef and frozen shrimp, cook just a tad

3)     Add the following vegetables (fresh or frozen)

  • Carrots
  • Mushrooms
  • broccoli
  • Sweet onion
  • spinach
  • Corn
  • Peppers

4)    Open your pantry and find a can of yellow beans and a can of water chestnuts, open and throw in pan (fresh could also work but I wanted to point out can was acceptable!)

5)    Once everything is cooked add a whole package of Shiritaki Noodles (available at asian food stores, 40 cals for 8oz)

6)     Now to undry this thing, add the following:

  • Lemon juice
  • Rice vinegar
  • cayenne pepper
  • hot sauce
  • oyster sauce (just a tad)
  • And a bitty bit of sweet chili thai sauce.

All in all this took me less than 15 minutes to make and I have a few frozen portions to grab on the run when I have trouble making those 15 minutes fit between training, work and volleyball!
