I am SO happy for two reasons: 1) it is Friday and 2) today I took my very last midterm in pharmacy school. Actually, it was my very last midterm ever *crosses fingers*. I came home and wanted to make something quick and easy for lunch, so I made this Kung Pao chicken stir-fry. I love stir-fry dishes because you can use so many different vegetables, and they always seem to just go together! I used Simply Asia Spicy Kung Pao Stir-Fry Sauce for the final touch, and it added just the right amount of spiciness and a great flavor to the veggies and chicken. Simply Asia and Thai Kitchen products are great when you want to serve something up quick, and they taste like restaurant quality. I served the stir-fry over jasmine rice, which goes great with just about any stir-fry dish! You can chop up the vegetables the night before you want to make this stir-fry dish for an even faster lunch or dinner.
What is everyone up to this weekend? I have a little break before I need to do some assignments, so I’m thinking day-trip tomorrow. Not sure where yet…
Next week (Feb 10) is the Chinese New Year, a 15-day celebration. It is really big in San Francisco. Since I moved here, I haven’t been to the parade in China Town, but I want to check it out! Do you do anything special for the Chinese New Year? I always enjoy the great FOOD!
Have a wonderful weekend!

This looks so delectably colourful 😀
Cheers
CCU
I love all of the different colors too 🙂
This looks like a great, easy and healthy weeknight dinner to put together. Love all the colourful veggies 🙂
Thank you Christine!
I hope you’ve had a good weekend. That’s a great looking dish. I’ll have to hunt around to see if we can buy that sauce here in Sydney xx
Had a great weekend – hiking and a lot of great food 🙂 What did you do this weekend?
Yum, this looks great and easy to veganize! 🙂 Hope you’re having a great weekend!
Definitely, I just love all the veggies in this dish 🙂
Congrats on your final mid-term! Pharmacy school is hard – I’ll bet most people don’t know you learn way more science than most doctors. (In a former life I was a college textbook sales rep – the premed P-Chem course usually used a “baby” book. The one for the pharmacy? The toughest books out there. Same with most other subjects.) Anyway, great looking dish! Have fun at the parade!
Haha, I remember my p-chem course – almost the death of me! Glad that is over!!
I love how colorful this is! So very pretty. Whenever I make Asian food, I leave out the veggies. That results in some ugly looking food! And this is so healthy. Love it!
I use the Simply Asia kit that comes in the bowl Kung Pao. It has the great noodles, and the sauce, and is SO EASY AND FAST. Never mind the rice for 20-40 minutes. The “oh so good gooey” noodles are in the 4 minute kit. Add sauted veggies and you have dinner for 2 or 4 or whatever… I know its pricey to get shredded cabbage, carrots, bagged broccoli garden salad………but what timesavers! Often at the 99 cent store, you can’t beat them.
