Cleansing Diet, Day 12: Amazing what a few fresh vegetables can do!

After packing all day we whipped up a quick stir fry for dinner before heading to meet our friends Matt and Kel for drinks before the Hawks game. We cooked up some brown rice to go with our veggies and used the leftover Spicy Almond Paste from the Southeast Asian Lettuce Wraps we had on Day 8.

Stir fry is great when you are in a hurry and there are endless combinations of vegetables, proteins and sauces to make every stir fry unique. Stir fried items make a great side or for a complete meal have your stir fry with rice, noodles, lentils or quinoa. Cook your chosen accompaniment separately and top with your stir fry or mix it in for more of a family style dish like you see below.

The key to stir fry is to get the pan and chosen fat nice and hot but not smoking before adding your items. Add heartier vegetables with longer cooking times first and greens and cooked grains last. Toss or stir to mix all items and cook your stir fry fast and hot.
