Leftovers Night

I used leftovers for dinner tonight, and dinner turned out to be surprisingly tasty. Very tasty! I’ll list the amount of each ingredient but it’s the kind of recipe that doesn’t need strict attention to proportions. Use what you’ve got.

  • 1 medium summer squash, sliced thin
  • 1 medium yellow onion, sliced into rings
  • 1/2 green bell pepper, sliced into strips
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, sliced into strips
  • 4 oz. Lloyd’s Woodfire Pork BBQ

Put the veggies into a bowl and heat 20 ~ 30 seconds in the microwave – 40 ~ 60 seconds if the ingredients came from the fridge.

Heat a wok and add:

  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp brandy
  • 1 tbsp diced garlic

When the liquid begins to sizzle, add the veggies and pork. Stir as it fries. Add salt, pepper, and sprinkle on red pepper flakes. (I like food that is hot and spicy - you may prefer to omit the red pepper flakes.)

Stir-fry until veggies are done. Eat. Enjoy.

Looks delicious! I might try this tonight. I have heard that for cooking it is better to use just regular olive oil rather than the extra virgin stuff, which is best on slads and the like. What are your thoughts?

Ken, thanks for the comment. You make a good point. Regular olive oil is fine for sautéing or frying and has a higher smoke point than EVOO.
