a Big Happy Red Pot

So I seem to be on a kick of late to purchase packaged grocery store items and combine in such a way as to be called "gourmet." I guess I am creating my own "mystery ingredient basket" (ala Chopped). The key is to have a well stocked pantry. Here is what was on today's menu!

BOGO at my local Harris Teeter so I used 2 bags.

Saute onion in sesame oil in my favorite red pot.

Add fresh broccoli. I used a vegetable peeler to peel off outer layers of woody stalks then cut those on the bias. Delicious!

Season all this with soy sauce, red pepper flakes, Chinese five spice powder, Sriracha sauce and Bragg's liquid aminos (a nutritional powerhouse that tastes like soy) - even shredded last night's leftover chicken and threw it in the pot. Finally, add the bags of microwaved brown rice with carrot and broccoli and you have got one big happy pot of goodness.  Sorry I did not stop to take a photo of the finished product but you can just imagine it -
now can't you?  I truly enjoy cooking for my ever appreciative husband - we love our mealtimes together!
