EASY STIR FRY

I always grew up with different variations of the same stir fry recipe, I will give some the ingredient substitutions below.

Makes enough for 4-6 depending on portion size.

Basic ingredients:

• 6 packages of ramen noodles (beef, pork, or oriental flavored)
• 2 lbs Meat of your choice (pork, beef, or chicken) 
• 1 family sized bag of frozen stir fry veggies or Fresh veggies (if you participate in Bountiful baskets or a food co-op or have garden this meal is great because you can put anything in it.)
• A pan with a lid

Directions:

• Start boiling your water for your noodles.  Cook according to instructions.
• Cut your type of meat into strips.
• If you are using frozen veggies make sure you keep them in the freezer until you are ready to use.  
• Add 1-2 tablespoons of oil to a hot pan. 
• Add your meat as well as 2 of the flavor packets from the ramen noodles. This will form a paste that should coat the meat.  It is ok if it clumps a little.
• Once the meat is cooked through you will add the vegetables and cover with your lid.   If you are using the frozen veggies the ice crystals will provide enough moisture to steam themselves.  If you are using fresh veggies you have to add about a 1/2 cup of water so the veggies will steam.
• Add 2 more of the flavor packets. Mix well.
• Let the vegetables and meat cook.  When the veggies are done to your liking you are finished.  I take the drained noodles and add them to the pan and mix the veggie and meat mixture in with the noodles.
• ENJOY!!

Honestly I have made this with so many combinations.  Veggies only, steak, chicken, pan fried noodles, etc.  The trick is the ramen for your noodles and those handy already made flavor packets for your spices.
