And tasty too!
Last week, I took a recipe from Pinterest (Korean Beef) that I had tried in the past and decided to try it again and tweak it a bit.
You can find the original recipe here and the super easy and only change I made was to add a bag of fresh stir fry veggies (broccoli, carrots, and snow peas) while the meat was simmering!
It not only added tons of veggies to the meal in the same pan, but it stretched the recipe to even more servings than just the meat and rice.
Last night, I tried this Chicken Fried Rice recipe. I checked out the Teriyaki Chicken recipe that she has linked and decided to dumb it down a bit - ok, a lot - and just poured Low Sodium Teriyaki Sauce in the crockpot with the chicken.
The chicken was so flavorful and dripping in Teriyaki sauce so I chose not to add the soy sauce to the fried rice. I was afraid it would have made everything too salty.
In the end, the dish was plenty flavorful and while J didn't care to eat it, B wasn't going to turn it down and Bobby and I were impressed.
The next time I make it, I will probably use a cup and a half of the veggies, but everything else will remain the same.
If you try either of these, or even the Black Bean Soup recipe - which has quickly become part of our weekly meals - let me know what you think!
