So, today, well later today since it's about 2 AM, I go over with my youngin to get him registered for his second semester of college. His last three classes went well.

Rice-a-roni Fried Rice is pretty much a staple when I make stir fry. You can add almonds to it to give it some crunch. Start that before the rest as it takes around 20 minutes for the main part of its cooking.

I really don't do anything special as far as making the stir fry. I brown the onions in butter or peanut oil depending on my mood.

While that's in progress, I cut the meat into bite sized pieces, season, and brown it. I do brown the stir fry meat in oil. For the chicken I used powdered ginger, garlic powder and paprika.

Use 1 can each sliced bamboo shoots, bean sprouts, and sliced water chestnuts. Drain them and add each type one at a time, let each part cook in for a minute or two, stir occasionally. Snow peas are added last. I ended up using frozen sweet peas last night which were great for adding color, but snow peas taste much better, IMO.

Serve the stir fry over the rice.

Optional: You can also top your food with cashews or almonds. Probably other nuts you can use, but those are the ones I had tried and liked.

A touch of soy sauce, if desired, can be added during cooking. I prefer to wait until it's cooked and let my family add the sauce to taste after they get it on their plate.
