What do you do when that hunger pang hits hard? Grab a stale plastic sandwich, pick up Chinese or nibble on junk? You need not be doing all this! Why, you've become (or rather will become) king of your kitchen, lord of your larder - and your refrigerator's looking full for a change.

Since, you've shed that "I can't manage my eating coz I'm a bachelor" image, you're going to find out how very simple it is to start that tantalising aroma flowing out your kitchen window to surprise your neighborhood!

For starters, I thought we'd take on a very simple and tasy recipe that's so filling, you'll get stuffed!

It's one of those recipes that require not more than five ingredients and not more than five minutes to cook! You might want to visit the source this particular one listed below at: this site. It's listed as one of my favorite links.

Enjoy!

Stir fry over rice

This is really quick and easy... especially if you use quick cooking rice.

Slice up a nice size pile of a variety of vegetables - at least three different kinds, but the more the merrier. Better make that pile of veggies a little larger than you would imagine since they tend to cook down a bit and besides, this stuff is good! Some options might be cabbage, onion, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, Chinese cabbage.

If you want to have meat in this dish (chicken, pork, beef, seafood), slice it up thinly if it is raw and put it in the pan first. If your meat is already cooked, add it last when the veggies are about done.

OK! In a large skillet, heat up some oil, drop in a couple smashed cloves of garlic and a few slices of fresh ginger if you have any, and start it to sizzling. Add the raw meat, if any. Stir around. Add the denser vegetables first. Keep stirring all the time (thus the name "stir fry"). Add the less dense vegetables. Keep stirring! If you are adding any cooked meat, now is the time. When the veggies are tender (not mushy!) pour everything over a bed of rice and pass the soy sauce if you wish. Really good stuff!
