Stats: 255/236/155 Female 5 ft. 9 in.

Default My Oriental Stir- Fry

2 Tbs. canola oil (or just use water if you prefer)
1 large onion chopped (or a couple of spring onions, chopped)
1 large bunch of bok choy, slices into 1 " slices
1 or 2 carrots, sliced
1/2 cup fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 cup fresh bean sprouts
1 bell pepper, seeded and cut into strips
1 small can water chestnuts
fresh or frozen Chinese pea pods or sugar snap beans
1/4 c. toasted almonds (may be whole, sliced or slivered)

(you may use half of these ingredients if you are cooking for 1 or 2 people)

Put oil into a large skillet or wok. Brown the onions in oil. (if using water instead of oil, just heat onions til softened). Add rest of ingredients (except almonds) one at a time, tossing after the addition of each ingredient. Do not stir too much. Cook until tender crisp. Just before serving, add almonds and heat through. Serve with soy sauce. If in Phase 2 or beyond you can serve with a little brown rice.

*The bok choy is what makes this special IMO.

** If you like tofu, you may add some firm cubed tofu instead of the almonds for the protein.
