Chicken and Veggie Stir Fry

Chicken and Veggie Stir fry

In the same mold as last week’s recipe, I ended up making this with all of the leftover vegetables. Ended up a little more flavorful (added some oyster sauce among other things) than the veggie stir fry, but I still think it could use a little more taste in the sauce (I really do think I have a bad habit of using too much meat and vegetables and never balancing out the sauce well enough).

The cashews really complemented the dish, adding a nice crunch to some of the bites. I’ve never really cooked with cashews (or any other sort of nut for the record) but I think I’ll definitely end up trying using them more soon!

Probably will be posting sometime this weekend, got a lot of backed up posts that need to make it on some way or another :)
