Asparagus Stir Fry


There aren't too many times I use frozen vegetables, but a bag of Bird's Eye asparagus stir fry is a great staple to have in your freezer.  Along with some chicken or shrimp and a little creative additions you have an easy, healthy meal any night of the week and you can use up any vegetables you have on hand.

1 medium onion, chopped
2 gloves garlic, minced
Olive Oil Spray
8 ounces shrimp or chicken strips
1 bag Bird's Eye Asparagus Stir Fry
Chinese Five Spice Seasoning
Fresh ginger
Mango Chutney or Apricot Jam
White wine or chicken stock
Sesame oil
Sesame seeds for topping
Any additional veggies in your fridge, asparagus, broccoli, pepper strips, etc.

Saute the onion in olive oil spray until soft, add garlic and grated fresh ginger and cook a few more minutes.  Season the shrimp with salt and five spice seasoning. Saute until just cooked through, remove shrimp to a plate.  If adding your own vegetables, saute those first (steam in the microwave if they need a little cooking first, like asparagus or broccoli).  Add a small splash of sesame oil and the veggies to the pan and soften, add the bag of frozen stir fry.  Cook aout 5 minutes, add a little white wine or chicken broth. then stir in about a tablespoon of jam or chutney. Sprinke with toastsed sesame seeds.
