This is a great weeknight meal that is easy to cook, it takes just a little bit of prep work but is worth it! I love making stir fry’s like this, they are so tasty and far healthier than your standard “Chinese Food Take Out”, I’m still not even sure what that stuff is… The only ethnic take out we do is Thai. Enjoy

Heat sauce up to dissolve sugars and meld flavors.

That looks excellent 😉
Thanks! 🙂
A little sweet, savory, and spicy. this is what Asian dishes are all about. Sounds great. BAM
I agree, you gotta have a balance of the 3 🙂 I love your dishes, they always make me so hungry!
Hi, thank u for checking out my blog:) Now, I’m in the mood for some stir fry.. looks delicious!
You are welcome, I enjoyed it!
Sounds tasty and I love how you plated it!
Thanks! The plates are from Korea, they are great serving plates!
Chile paste with garlic is my favorite! I’m surprised that you didn’t thicken your sauce with cornstarch, arrowroot, peanut butter, tahini, something.
Me too! I sometimes do thicken, but this time I didn’t and was quite happy with the results, the sugars helped I think in creating a caramel like consistency… 🙂
I must have been inspired by your post: I changed my plan and made a giant stir-fry of cooked pork loin, cabbage, broccoli and spring onions from the farm box, featuring chili paste with garlic, of course.
Awesome! I hope it was delicious! 🙂
your food always looks delicious to these eyes!
Thanks 🙂 It’s good to hear that!
Oh zesty.. I love a stir fry. And yours came out looking so wonderful. You have completely outdone yourself. Delicious

Thanks Mandy 🙂 !!!
Fabulous – what a perfect dish!
Thanks, I love dishes like this! 🙂
Jen…the only thing that would keep me from eating that entire platter is my damn gluttonous diet!! 🙂
🙂 It was hard not to eat the whole plate!
Yummy, looks delicious! There’s a chance I could eat that entire plate. 🙂
🙂 Thanks!
That looks fab – I had some take-out Chinese today which ended up being a bit “ick” – would have loved something as fresh-looking as this!
Thanks Charles 🙂 I know what you mean by “ick” I have had too many icky take-outs, sometimes it’s best to just make your own if time allows 🙂
You had me at noodles!
I too have a weakness for noodles… 🙂
This looks like the real deal!!! Love the combination of flavors and the presentation is fabulous
Thank you thank you! 🙂
