Mongolian BBQ and Orange Veggie Stir Fry

Mongolian BBQ (at least that's what we like to call it) is one of my families favorite dishes.  And of course it's super Simple, super Healthy, and super Tasty!  It's not really a recipe so I will just tell you what we do.  Be sure to look below for a great Orange stir fry recipe!

Mongolian BBQ

First we cut up a whole bunch of raw veggies, etc. and set them out on plates.

Veggies we like are: 

Broccoli

Asparagus

Cabbage

Snow peas or Sugar snap

Mushrooms

Carrots

Celery

Onion

Bell Pepper

Water chestnuts

Bamboo shoots

Baby corns

Roasted Cashews and/or Peanuts

Pineapple

We cook some whole wheat spaghetti noodles and drain them. We do whatever kind of sauces and oils we want.  Usually some olive oil, we like the Orange sauce recipe below Shoyu, Teriyaki (READ INGREDIENTS I get mine through Azure) Pineapple or Lemon juice is also good for those who like spicy chili pastes, sauces or oils, garlic sauce, whatever you want.  We fill up our plates buffet style with the noodles and whatever veggies we want then we take it to the stove and put it in a preheated Wok or frying pan and stir fry it all up!  So easy and so good!

Prep time:  About 15 minutes

Cook time:  About 5 minutes

Orange Veggie Stir Fry

2 Tablespoons Olive oil

Favorite stir fry veggies cut up

Cooked Brown Rice

Sauce Ingredients:

2 Tablespoon olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

3/4 cup water

2 Tablespoon Orange Juice Concentrate

2-4 Tablespoons Lemon Juice

(depending on how sour you want it start with 2)

3 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar or rice vinegar

4 Tablespoons Nama Shoyu 

1/2 cup Sucanat

½ teaspoon red pepper flakes

(less or more depending on how spicy you want it)

4 teaspoons arrowroot powder

2 Tablespoons water

2-4 drops orange essential oil (optional, but I really like the added orange flavor)

Stir Fry Veggies in Olive oil until crisp tender.

In a small saucepan, saute garlic in olive oil. Add water, orange juice concentrate, lemon juice, vinegar, soy sauce, Sucanat and pepper flakes. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium. In a small cup mix together arrowroot powder and water until thoroughly blended. Pour arrowroot mixture into sauce, stirring constantly. Cook, stirring over medium heat until sauce thickens to your liking. Remove from heat and combine with stir fried veggies.   Top the Cooked brown rice with the veggie and sauce mixture.

 

Prep Time: About 20 Minutes

Cook Time: About 45 Minutes (only because brown rice takes that long to cook you can be doing the other stuff while rice is cooking so the time overlaps.  It will only take 45 minutes total time if you do this.  And only about 20 Minutes of your time!)

ENJOY!!!
