Stir Fried Veggies - Amazing and Easy!!

I have recently fallen in love with stir fried veggies. I originally found a recipe that is on the 21 Day Ultimate Reset, however, there are so many options this never gets old!

Last night I had stir fried veggies with brown rice and turkey kielbasa. Earlier in the week, I had stir fried veggies with soba noodles. I also made stir fried veggies with roasted turkey. You get my point, the possibilities are endless.

Veggies with Soba Noodles

So where to start? Pick whatever veggies you want to make. My favorites are red, green, or yellow peppers, carrots, and broccoli. I also want to experiment with squash and asparagus. I've used zucchini before as well. But there are so many more you can throw in too. Sugar snap peas are another one that come to mind! If you want to add rice or noodles, brown rice is my favorite and healthy. Quinoa would also be a good choice! Then if you want a protein, the sky is the limit. Turkey, chicken, steak, pork, really anything!

Here is my recipe from last night:

2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tsp sesame oil (add a bit more oil if you are going to increase the amount of veggies!)
3/4c broccoli florets
2 medium sized carrots, cut into 2in pieces and cut into 1/3rds
1 bell pepper (I used 1/2 yellow and 1/2 red)
1/2c brown rice, cooked
2oz turkey kielbasa
2 Tbsp reduced sodium soy sauce

To start, heat both oils in a large skillet. While those are heating, get the rice cooking. I use minute rice so that it's quicker. The veggies take less than 10 minutes to make. If your rice takes longer, get that started first. Once hot, add the carrots for a minute or two and stir frequently. Then add the broccoli and peppers. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, again stirring frequently. Add the protein, in this case the kielbasa, at the end to warm. Remove from heat, add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and stir. I add the other tablespoon of the soy sauce to the rice. Then, combine on a plate and ENJOY! See how easy that is? And trust me, it's amazing!
