Guilt food. Take out stir fry. I mean, does it really get any better than the aroma when you open that tiny white box? There’s something about the pleasure of sinking your fork into that and reruns of really crappy 90’s shows that is irreplaceable some nights. But, I’m cheap, and I have a serious conscious issues, so this is my version. Made at home, using up those veggies in the fridge, and over brown rice…. Perfect for two. Orange Chicken Stir Fry. And hey, It’s almost healthy.
And almost healthy is a lot better than you are going to get at any take out place.
