Wednesday 22 February -We Ate Our 5 A Day!

Stir fry tonight - was going to do noodles, but then the mention of special fried rice had me thinking.

So, the rice was thai rice, steamed, and then stir fried with dried mushrooms, peas, pancetta and a bit of onion, and finished off with egg mixed with soy sauce, and a dash of sesame oil

Turkey stir fry - marinaded strips of turkey breast with cornflour and soy sauce ( I always buy kikkoman) for around 10 mins, then stir fried. Bit of a stand off when a piece of turkey fell on the floor and Leonard grabbed it and did a runner - it was too hot to eat straight away, so three cats waited for it to cool..... he won out when Derek was distracted.

The veg were then stir fried - carrot, spring onion, courgette, mushrooms, sweetcorn, red and green peppers on a base of red onion with garlic and ginger paste.

Turkey went back in along with the sauce which was soy, oyster, a bit of chicken stock, some cornflour and some rice wine along with something I found in a tin in the cupboard - salted black beans

All was stir fried together, and served poured over the rice - definitely one we will be doing again, and George seems to have eaten some vegetables!!!
