Everything but the kitchen sink

We usually have stir fry once a week. Both of us enjoy it and it's different every time - sometimes exceptionally delicious. Tonight we did stir fry and I wanted something different. We used half brown basmati rice and half jasmine rice. Then, this is what I threw in the skillet:
  • lo-sodium soy sauce for sauteing
  • onion
  • red and green bell pepper strips
  • mushrooms
  • carrots
  • green beans
  • water chestnuts
  • bamboo shoots
  • edamame
  • crushed pineapple
  • chopped pear
  • orange sections
  • banana slices
  • just a handful of chopped walnuts
I let it cook til everything was still just a little crispy and then served it over the rice with a dash of additional soy sauce and some duck sauce. Absolutely delicious! The banana really was a delight in this dish. The only fat is what is natural in the edamame and the little dab of walnuts, and it wasn't much- and I can't imagine how many servings of veggies and fruits it was, but we both ate a huge bowl and we have plenty for leftovers for tomorrow.
