It is time for this months Improv Challenge over at
Frugal Antics of a Harried Homemaker. This months ingredient challenge is peas and carrots. I really did not plan on participating this month, then at the last minute I realized the stir-fry I was making the night before the challenge reveal date had peas and carrots! So here is my very last minute entry for this months improv:
1 lb seasoned pork for fajitas
1/2 of a 14 oz bottle La Choy orange ginger stir fry sauce, divided
1 Tbsp sesame oil
8 oz sugar snap peas
1/2 of a large carrot, cut into ribbons
1/2 cup unsalted peanuts
Cut pork into strips. Place in plastic bag with about 3 oz of the stir fry sauce. Allow to sit in fridge for two to three hours. In large skillet heat oil.
Add the pork and cook till almost done, about ten minutes.
Add the peas and carrots and continue cooking for about four minutes. Stir in remaining sauce and peanuts and cook until heated through.
Serve with rice and egg-rolls and enjoy!
I met you at BlogHer last year. Very glad to see you are a part of the Improv Challenge gang =) Your stir fry looks great, Terry. Happy trails!
ReplyDeleteThe fajita seasoned meat definitely gave this it's own pop of flavor! I am in and out on the improv, will participate for a while then skip a month or two.
DeleteLooks great, Terry. I love the sound of that orange ginger stir fry sauce. I'll have to look for that the next time I'm at the store. Great recipe for this month's Improv.
ReplyDeleteThe orange ginger is great. I am going to have to find it again myself! We've moved since I bought the sauce so I'm not sure what store I found it at.
DeleteMmmmmmm! How delicious does that look?!? My family loves stir fry.
ReplyDeleteYou can do just about anything in a stir fry and it's so easy!
DeleteI was afraid we would lose a lot of people for this month's ingredient challenge. I am glad you were able to join us with this great stir fry.
ReplyDeleteMy first thought when I saw the ingredients was the old canned peas and carrots - not a fan. It was literally last minute that I realized I was going to be making something with those ingredients the night before the challenge!
DeleteI love stir fry! This one certainly looks tasty!
ReplyDeleteI wasn't sure how the orange ginger would pair with the fajita seasoning already on the meat but it turned out wonderful!
DeleteI never even thought about sugar snap peas! Wonderful stir fry!
ReplyDeleteThanks. Sugar snap and snow peas are really the only peas I like.
DeleteI adore sugar snap peas in a stir fry, what a delicious looking meal.
ReplyDeleteMy Improv Cooking Challenge entry this month: Mom's Beef Vegetable Soup, hope that you'll stop over and check the recipe out.

Sugar snap peas are a must in any stir fry I make, love them.
DeleteGreat dish to fit the theme. I would have also thought of the canned peas and carrots (no thanks!) I like the flavors you've brought together.
ReplyDeleteThanks Michelle.
DeleteI like the seasoned for fajitas twist. I wouldn't have thought of that. Linda
ReplyDeleteI prob wouldn't have thought of it either if I had already had the extra meat from pork fajitas last week - and I didn't want fajitas again.
DeleteLove the Asian and Mexican combo- looks good
ReplyDeleteI was rather surprised at how well the flavors came together.
