Can I call this stir fry? Sure I can

What I can't really call these are recipes.  

Yesterday I had some boneless chicken breast, and when I looked in the freezer and saw some Aldi's veggies, I decided I would make something with the two.

I grabbed some things from the pantry and fridge.




I sliced the chicken up, seasoned it with garlic salt and lemongrass powder and sautéed it in toasted sesame oil over medium-high heat.  Cook the chicken until no longer pink, about 5 minutes or so.

Meanwhile, I put a bag of Asian Seasoned Vegetable medley in the microwave.  Once the veggies were done I added to the chicken.  I then plopped in a tablespoon of Sambal Oelek, and drizzled some soy sauce (not too much!).  Stir and heat it through, and eat!

It was delicious!  Sorry about the messy bowl.



Today I thought I would repeat it, but I didn't have the mixed veggies and I had pork.

So I sliced up the pork, heated up the toasted sesame oil, but this time I squeezed in some garlic, ginger, and lemongrass paste, stirred that a bit until it was fragrant, then added the pork.

While that was cooking I put a bag of Aldi's frozen asparagus in the microwave.  When it was done, I drained and sliced the asparagus and added to the pan, and stirred it up a bit.  I didn't like the asparagus right out of the microwave, but sautéing it on the stovetop gave it a nice crispy edge that I liked.  Sambal Oelek and soy sauce, and another bowl full of goodness.
