My favorite stir fry

For one  - a very hungry one

100 gr turkey breast - at least, cut in cubes and let in a bowl covered in light soya sauce (comes with less salt)
                                  for minimum 10 minutes
2 peppers - different colours, cut in medium stripes, so it stays crunchy in the middle after's fried
1 onion - cut julien
1 carrot grated
5 brussel sprouts cut in 4 and boiled no more than 2 minutes
1 courgette  - would be good, i didn't have today
200g mushrooms  - when i dont have meat, i use mushrooms


1. heat the live oil in a generously sized pan
2.fry the onion until yellow-ish
3.add the meat and leave it in the pan for the first few seconds, so it fries nice, after that start stirring
4.after about 2 minutes, add the peppers, after other 2 minutes, add the grated carrot
5. add the boiled brussel sprout, and add the soya sauce.
6. continue frying and stirring for 5 more minutes, add chilli flakes (if u like it hot...i adore the taste) and black pepper.
 No extra salt is generally needed


Meanwhile you add some boiled water over a portion of cous-cous  - maybe half a mug; just add water to cover the cous-cous no more than one finger on top. In 3-4 minutes the cus-cous becomes fluffy and should absorb all the water.


So put the cous-cous on the bottom of a nice plate, put all the stir fry on top...and gorge on it....
absolutely beautiful :-)

Cous-Cous the largest source of carbohydrates is low-gl, with slow release of glucose
The vegetables provide good low cars, plus high content of fibres, antioxidants and vitamins, and minerals
Soya souce- good source of flavones with good influence on estrogen hormons
Low content of salt, good to avoid hypertension
Great flavours from chilli and black - pepper
It looks good and you dont need more than 15 minutes to prepare it FROM SCRATCH!!

So why not???? Try my stir fry :-)
