New American Stir Fry


Okay- I promise this is the last BBQ flavored post for a while. Maybe until next summer.

At any rate last night I was craving Stir Fry, I even made a special trip to the new asian market to make sure I got the right combo of noodles and sauces. Unfortunately, by the time I got home I didn't feel like all the effort of the noodles, and, well, I was just feeling lazy. So here came plan B.

BBQ Stir Fry.
I had some leftover chicken that I had grilled the other day and some potatoes, so I thought, why not - -gotta use those leftovers somehow, and besides if its just aweful and I can't eat it, well... I could use to skip a meal now and again.

So without further backstory, here is what I did.

Stir Fry (Medium High Heat in a big frying pan)
Chopped Red Onion
Chopped Green Peppers
Sugar Snap Peas cut in bite size chunks
Leftover grilled chicken in bite size pieces
Leftover roasted potatoes in bite size pieces.

Once everything is nice and warm, add in a few sloshes around the pan of your favorite BBQ sauce.
Add in a squeeze of honey.

Stir it around until its all well distributed.

Serve.

And for the big suprise,
it was actually pretty good. Probably won't see it popping up in any restaurants soon, but really, not bad.

Try it and enjoy,
T

Guys Like Bar-B-Que

Okay you lazy cooks- this one'll get you everytime. And ladies, make this and he'll lick your fingers too (if that's what you're into.)

Honestly, this is a great date meal because not only do you have that amazing bar-b-q flavor but it can be mess free, its like the best of both worlds. (And it's cheap)

T's Boneless Ribs

2 bottle Bullseye BBQ Sauce
1 lb Pork Shoulder Country Style Rib Boneless

Directions
Preheat oven to 300
Put ribs and sauce in a large casserole dish or a dutch oven.
Make sure sauce completely covers meat in the dish.
Place in oven for 2 hours, turning every half hour.
Feel free to cook longer, pork will only get softer which = better.

Other tips:
Bullseye BBQ Sauce is the favorite of America's Test Kitchen.
Kraft Honey BBQ Sauce tastes like KFC's old BBQ recipe if that flavor strikes your fancy.

Feeling like you want to get fancy?
Brown the ribs first.


Fancier than that?
Add your own honey and brown sugar to the sauce. Be liberal, you can't overdue it.


Lazy Guy Tip:
Use disposable aluminum baking dish from the store and throw it out after the meal.

Eat and Enjoy,
