The Husband Cooks

My husband doesn't make much on his own. He is an excellent griller and makes a mean "canned" tuna casserole.  However, he does make a good stir fry in a real wok.  Tonight he made a shrimp stir fry.

1T vegetable or canola oil
1 head of broccoli, florets cut off
2 cans of water chestnuts, drained
2 oz of fresh snow peas
1 cup of grated carrots
1 can of bean sprouts, drained
1 pound of cooked shrimp
3 cups of brown rice, cooked
Soy sauce
Garlic powder
Corn starch, as needed

Coat wok with oil and heat.  Add broccoli and soy sauce.  Stir until broccoli is bright green.
Add water chestnuts and snow peas and toss with garlic powder.  Stir ingredients until well coated and cook with lid on until tender.  Add carrots, bean sprouts and shrimp and toss to heat through.  Use corn starch if too much liquid in in the center of wok to thicken sauce. 

Serve over brown rice.


For dessert we had sliced strawberries and blueberries drizzled with Kahlua and topped with Lite whipped cream.
