Something I have found to be quite useful lately is…broccoli slaw. It is an amazing thing, I tend to fancy up my salads by adding a little broccoli slaw to them and it works great, plus all the nutrients you get from broccoli can really help make a salad nutritious. Well I have found that I am unable to go through a bag of broccoli slaw quick enough to have a fresh salad all the time, so I have found that after about a week the slaw can start to go bad, but I have found the perfect way to not waste it…stir-fry. Broccoli slaw makes a great stir-fry base, it is so easy and tasty in the end that it really proves beneficial to me and the time I spend in the kitchen. Just use broccoli slaw as a base and include any vegetables you may have on hand, cook them up with some oil and soy sauce and you have a perfect side for any dish. You gotta give this a try.
Ingredients:
1 tbsp oil (use more if needed)
Broccoli slaw (can be found by the cole slaw mixes in any grocery store)
Minced garlic
Any vegetable ingredients of your choice, I tend to use onions, mushrooms, edamame, and/or zuchini
1 tsp soy sauce (can be increased if you would like a stronger soy sauce taste)
garlic salt and/or salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
- Heat up the oil to medium heat in a large frying pan or a wok. Add the slaw, garlic, and the vegetables of your choice; making sure to wait on adding the quick-cooking veggies, like zuchini, until after the onions and broccoli have become tender.
- Once veggies are tender, add the soy sauce, salt and pepper and mix everything together, let flavors meld for about 5 minutes. Serve hot alongside any of your favorite meats and some rice, enjoy!
