Stir Fry

Read any magazine and they will tell you that stir fry is the quickest and easiest way to use up the leftovers in your fridge. This is a complete lie. Unless you somehow have all the needed pre-sliced veggies, prepared chicken, rice and other fixings you will be prepping for at least 15 minutes before you begin cooking! Luckily I did happen to have some left over rotisserie chicken to use, but the veggies, well they take a while to chop up! Creating same sized pieces tends to relax me after a hectic day, something I am sure I am alone in. So if you have some free time handy this is a wonderful dish to make!

Glistening soy goodness!
