The first time I made this recipe Dallas said, “We don’t even have to eat out to get Chinese food anymore. You can just make this.” So needless to say this is one of our favorites.

My favorite thing about stir fry is that you can cook it with whatever meat and vegetables you want, and it turns out great every time! We like using asada or picada steak because it takes less time to cook (and I just love steak). We have tried it with chicken, and it’s good as well.

Before trying this sauce recipe, I almost never made stir fry. Now I make stir fry almost every week. I hope you try it out and love it as much as we do!

Sauce Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 Tbsp. corn starch
  • 1 Tbsp. sugar
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 cup broth (or one bouillon cube, with one cup of water)

Directions

1. Cook your meat and add seasonings desired. Add your choice of vegetables when meat is almost completely cooked. Cook together on medium heat for 5 minutes until vegetables are soft.

2. In a separate sauce pan, before turning on the heat, add corn starch, sugar, soy sauce, and broth to the pan and mix well. Turn heat to medium and stir constantly. At first the sauce will be a light brown color and very liquidy. After about 3-5 minutes it should start to thicken and turn a dark brown color. (See pictures above)

3. Pour sauce over meat and vegetables, serve with rice, and enjoy!

This is even good for leftovers! The sauce doesn’t separate at all, so if we have leftovers I just make more rice the next day and heat the sauce, meat, and vegetables up in the microwave for a couple minutes.

Grati-Tuesday

If we’re being honest, I am crazy for taking three studio classes (after I already graduated) for “fun”. I know this Grati-Tuesday is totally late, but I can’t bring myself to skip it. Today, I am grateful for Grati-Tuesday. I know there are only a few who actually read these, and to those people – You are rock stars. Grati-Tuesday … Continue reading “Grati-Tuesday”

Grati-Tuesday

Today I am grateful to be able to talk to my mom on the phone every day. That’s probably a little crazy to some people, and others would avoid having to talk to their mom every day, but I’ve made it a thing to call my mom everyday on the phone. Last year we were both having a hard time, … Continue reading “Grati-Tuesday”

Grati-Tuesday

Yesterday I taught the lesson in Sunday School, and there was something I read that really hit me. “Sometimes we want to have growth without challenges and to develop strength without and struggle. But growth cannot come by taking the easy way. We clearly understand that an athlete who resists rigorous training will never become a world-class athlete. We must … Continue reading “Grati-Tuesday”

Grati-Tuesday

Today we are in Las Vegas staying with Dallas’ sister and her husband, and it has been a fun time staying with them. It’s nice to get out of Cedar City to see and do some new things. We really love to travel and see family and friends, but it always makes me realize how much I am grateful for … Continue reading “Grati-Tuesday”

Grati-Tuesday

Today while getting Christmas cards ready to mail out (yay!), I was getting kind of cold, so I went over to the thermostat and turned on the heater. I also was getting hungry, so I walked over to the oven and turned it on. I didn’t have to chop down a tree today. I didn’t have to chop wood today. … Continue reading “Grati-Tuesday”

Grati-Tuesday

This week is finals week so you could say I’m going to be pretty grateful when it’s over (Partaaay!!), but I’m also very grateful today. Last week we noticed that Dallas’ loan’s where accruing interest, so we decided to pay them off… What? Who does that? Thankfully we were able to, but I know many people aren’t so lucky. Today … Continue reading “Grati-Tuesday”

Grati-Tuesday

My parents have this giant window above their front door and I took this picture through it last weekend when we were there for Thanksgiving (and my birthday!). Killer view, right?? Today was a very stressful day towards the end of it, and my angel husband made me dinner and helped me edit photos for my photography class, because sometimes … Continue reading “Grati-Tuesday”

DIY Knit Pencil Skirt

Fabric: Thick knit fabric from Jo-Ann Fabric Pattern: Mimi’s DIY Pencil Skirt Tutorial When I go to stores and see their stretchy fabric skirts, I always get this glimpse of hope that one might just fit me. Every time, it turns out to be a complete fail, and even the x-large is too tight. It’s times like these when sewing knowledge … Continue reading “DIY Knit Pencil Skirt”
