I’ve blogged before about my love affair with stir fries. They’re so simple and tasty that I find myself eating a stir fry at least once a week. As with most things I make, I’ll usually cook up a HUGE amount at one time so that I have lots of leftovers (you should know by now that cooking is not my favorite activity; I only mention this fact in like every other blog post of mine!). Many of the leftovers go into my freezer so I don’t have to eat the same meal over and over until the leftovers are gone (my freezer is my best friend!).
But what does one do when, after eating a few stir fry meals, one still has a *small* amount of leftovers that isn’t enough to make a meal by itself? One gets creative!
Presenting the Stir-Fry Sandwich! Ok, so I guess plopping some stir-fried veggies on a pita isn’t all that creative… but the name of the sandwich is ;).
The yummy closed sandwich, with the stir fry peeking out. When I attempted to pick this guy up, though, he fell apart on me, so I ended up eating the sandwich open-faced.
Some stir-fry leftovers (I don’t remember how this particular stir fry was seasoned, but I’m sure garlic was involved!) on an Ezekial 7-grain pita, with a Nectar bar to complete the meal.
Ooh, that reminds me: I still need to do my Energy Bar Post. Ok, so expect that for next time!

Stir-fry’s really are the best, so quick and an easy way to get your veggies and protein in one dish. The best, by far, is with a peanut sauce, don’t you agree?

Nothing with that many veggies in it could be bad!

Hey!!! I totally agree about the wonderfullness of stirfries. You just can NOT go wrong…ok, well maybe you can go wrong…but that’s ok too. I love the s.f. sandwhich idea. Brilliant!!
Thanks for the yummy sounding post.

Sounds like a good idea to me! I love a good stir fry, I wish my husband did as well.

Good idea. Sometimes I get so tired of eating leftovers, but I refuse to waste food. And I always make big portions since most recipes accommodate four people…and I just cook for little ol’ me.

I am all about the left-over sandwich idea! I also really like the left-over burrito and the left-over casserole, too! And thanks for your friend’s blog – I left her a comment. You’re a sweetie pea!

That sandwich looks so good! It doesn’t matter if it falls apart, as long as it tastes yummy 🙂
