Stir Fry for One

 This stir fry is quick and easy.  You can make more servings by multiplying the ingredients.  It's one of my favorite dinners.

Stir Fry for One

Ingredients:

4 ounces meat of your choice, very thinly sliced (It's easier to slice it thinly if it's partially frozen): chicken, beef, fish, pork

1 cup mixed fresh or frozen vegetables of your choice, bite sized pieces (I often use frozen Asian mix vegetables)

1 teaspoon cooking oil

1/2 teaspoon ginger, either grated fresh or powdered

1 teaspoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon Hoisin sauce

1/2 teaspoon sesame oil

Directions:

Heat heavy shallow skillet on medium heat.  Add cooking oil.  Add meat.  Stir and fry until browned.  Add vegetables.  Stir and fry until cooked to crisp tender and heated all the way through.  If it gets too dry add a small amount of water, less than a teaspoon.

When vegetables are crisp tender and meat is cooked through add 1/2 teaspoon Ginger, 1 teaspoon soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon Hoisin sauce.  Stir and fry for about 30 seconds.  Add 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil.  Stir until combined.  Remove from heat and enjoy.  This is delicious with rice or noodles.  Sometimes I add cooked rice to the skillet before I add the ginger and mix it all together.

Dutch Baby

 These Dutch Babies are great for breakfast or dinner.  So delicious!

Ingredients:

3 eggs

1/2 cup flour

1/2 cup milk

1 Tablespoon sugar

Pinch of nutmeg

4 Tablespoons butter

Toppings of your choice.  Any soft fruit should work, peaches, berries, bananas, or use canned pie filling

Whipped Cream, optional

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Combine eggs, flour, milk, sugar and nutmeg in a blender jar and blend until smooth. Batter may also be mixed by hand.

Place butter in a heavy 10-inch skillet or baking dish and place in the oven. As soon as the butter has melted (watch it so it does not burn) add the batter to the pan, return pan to the oven and bake for 20 minutes, until the pancake is puffed and golden. Lower oven temperature to 300 degrees and bake five minutes longer.

Remove pancake from oven, cut into wedges and serve at once topped with your choice of fruit and whipped cream if desired.
