Stir Fry of Leftovers

After making the summer rolls the other day I had some leftover cooking noodles and some shrimp that I had sautéed but didn't have anything to use it in. So i decided I would make a noodle stir fry. So here is a quick lunch idea and a great way to use different leftover vegetables, rice or meats that you may have in your fridge. For this recipe I didn't measure anything, I just used what I had leftover and added things based on what I thought looked right, this is more of an idea to go off of rather than an actual step by step recipe.

Stir fry

1 cup vermicelli rice noodles
1/2 cup medium shrimp - sautéed
1/2 cup of broccoli
Soy sauce
Sesame oil
Vegetable oil
Garlic
Shallots

I started by sautéing the garlic and shallots in a small amount of oil. Then I added the brocolli that I had cut into small florets. Then I added enough soy sauce to create a garlic flavored stir fry sauce and added a few dashes of sesame oil. I covered the pan and let the brocoli cook until tender. Ince the brocoli was cooked I added the leftover noodles and shrimp and mixed them in the suave and let them warm through.

Stir frys are a great way to make a quick meal and I think that people usually think that it is a lot more difficult than it is but it can be even more simplified by using extra vegetables and leftovers that you already have. So til next time,
