veggie experiment: day 17

STIR-FRY WITH THAI PEANUT SAUCE
long ago, after a failed attempt at making peanut sauce from scratch, i bought a bottle of peanut sauce from trader joe's and then forgot about it. when we moved into this house, i found it again, but then put it in the back of the pantry and there it stayed until a couple of days ago when i was organizing the pantry and found it once more. i finally decided to use it...

and i thought the inside of my mouth was going to disintegrate--it was SO hot!!! (i'm a wimp when it comes to spicy.) but i toughed it out and made my husband proud.


ingredients

bunch o' veggies. i used carrots, celery, asparagus, zucchini and mushrooms.
peanut sauce.
rice. i did half brown/half white rice since i discovered my basmati rice had gone bad.

directions

heat some olive oil and throw in some garlic and saute until it browns. then add veggies and stir-fry/steam until to desired doneness. pour in the peanut sauce and stir in til warm. serve over rice and put dry-roasted peanuts, cilantro and lime juice on top.
