I don't think I have shared too many of the things I make for myself repeatedly throughout the work week. I thought I would share one of my favorite go to recipes that I make often.
This is a stir fry that you can make with just about any protein, but I often find chicken or turkey sausages on sale or even marked half off at my grocery store. These are easy to freeze in individual servings as well.
2 chicken sausage links, casings removed
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
1 cup stir fry veggies
1 clove garlic
2 tbs diced onion
1 tbs soy sauce
1 teaspoon chili sauce
2 drops sesame oil
Directions:
Combine the soy sauce, chili sauce and sesame oil
Cook sausage, onion and garlic together for 2 minutes on medium high
Add in the mushrooms, cook for 5 minutes
Add in the veggies, cook for 4 minutes
Add in the sauce mixture, cook 2 minutes or until liquid is absorbed
Lets grab some ingredients and get frying...

First up combine the soy sauce, chili sauce and the sesame oil. If you like your sauce a little sweeter add in some mirin or some honey.

Chop up your garlic and your onions. My onions were pre-chopped from a previous dish.

Remove the chicken from the casings.

Fry up the sausage, onion and garlic over medium high for about 2 minutes. Your kitchen will immediately smell awesome with this combo.

Once the sausage is browned drop in the mushrooms. Cook those for about 5 minutes.

Add in the veggies and give everything a stir. Keep stirring until the veggies are cooked, about 5 more minutes.

Add in your sauce and you are almost ready to eat.

I probably have this at least once every two weeks and it always changes based on what protein I have around and what veggies I might need to use up. This is a great way to clean out your fridge!
What is one of your go to weeknight meals?
