I could eat this for every meal if I had the opportunity. I suppose I could, it costs a total of around $1.00 to make if you don't count the gas required to cook it. It's so damn good, I'm upset when the bowl is gone.
Be aware that I'm listing the ingredients and the amounts to be used, but I honestly don't measure any of it - and you probably won't need to either. It will be incredible no matter what you do.
1 full-sized Carrot
1/4 Onion
2 Green Onions
1/4 sliced Red Bell Pepper
1/2 cup of Broccoli
1-2 Cloves of Garlic sliced thin
2 TBsp Olive Oil (oil of your choice)
2 TBsp Brown Sugar
2-3 TBsp Soy Sauce
1 TBsp Sriracha sauce
1 TBsp of of fresh ground Peanut Butter
1/2 cup Rice
Directions
Heat the Oil, Sugar, Soy Sauce and Sriracha sauce to med/high heat
Throw in the vegetables and stir fry on high heat for 2 minutes
(Make sure not to overcook the veggies to keep them fairly firm - you don't want them soggy)
Throw in the Peanut butter and mix thoroughly for 30 seconds. Toss that stir fry on to some rice and be amazed.
Don't use Peter Pan or Skippy peanut butter. It won't taste right with all of the added sugar and processed junk they use. Use some fresh ground PB and it will make a huge difference. It helps the sauce stick to the veggies. Also, note that I've sliced these veggies very thin.
This is a philosophy that contrasts with cooking meats and other non-vegan meals to keep the moisture in. People often want to keep the veggies large as well. But the trick is to slice everything thin so that you increase the surface area and get that fantastic flavor married throughout the dish. You can even add some sliced tofu and it's even better. Let me know your opinions if you try this. It's unbelievable and you'll think twice about paying $8 at the local thai restaurant once you've had this!
