Fun Fact: One of my favorite cuisines ever is Chinese. You name it, I like it. Egg rolls, honey chicken, dumplings, fried rice, fortune cookies! I fill my plate up with it all. For the past two summers, I’ve had the opportunity to intern in New York City – basically, food heaven. There was nothing I enjoyed more than placing an order for take-out and grabbing it on my way home (and NYC’s Chinese take-out is on a whole other level.)
Now that I’m back in Gainesville, I needed to create a dish that satisfied every take-out craving I could ever have… and I did just that! Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find one spot in Gainesville that tickles my fancy, so I played around with different recipes until I nailed it!
Check out my step-by-step on how to make a kitchen sink stir fry that tastes great and is budget friendly!
Step 1: Take a look at the ingredients that I bought for this kitchen sink stir fry! Ingredients: Broccoli, mushrooms, instant brown rice, steak, shrimp. Sauce Ingredients: soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, mustard, cooking wine, sugar!
Step 2: Roast your veggies of choice! For this stir fry I chose broccoli and mushrooms and seasoned them with olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper! Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.
Step 3: Let’s get saucy! Usually, when people see this combo of ingredients they can’t believe it works well together – BUT I promise, you won’t regret this one! Measurements: 2 teaspoons of teriyaki sauce, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of cooking wine, 2 teaspoons of mustard (I used regular but prefer dijon!), and a pinch of granulated sugar!
Step 4: Here’s a basic walk through of what the cooking process looks like before we mix everything together! 1) Roast veggies of choice in oven – season with olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper! 2) Scramble 5 eggs and set to side – season with salt and pepper. 3) Cook protein of choice (I used shrimp and steak) in skillet with olive oil, salt and pepper, garlic, and Adobo. 4) Cook instant brown rice for 90 seconds in microwave. 5) Make sauce and set to side.
Step 5: Before you throw everything together in the pan, cook the sauce on medium heat for 5 minutes. Once the sauce starts bubbling, add the veggies, eggs, protein, and rice in pan. Stir and combine everything until all ingredients are coated in sauce. Let cool for 5 minutes and serve!
I hope y’all enjoyed this step-by-step on my favorite kitchen sink stir-fry! Try it out and let me know what you think. Eat up and stay tasty!
