Simple Steak Yakisoba

Simple Steak Yakisoba

Sampling at Costco is always an adventure, with some hits and some misses. Yakisoba was a hit, and I grabbed a box of the frozen packets, envisioning quick lunches for my favorite octogenarians. Surprise – both folks not only loved it, but managed to eat it without difficulty, a rare victory. I had to double down on this success with a homemade version, and so this Simple Steak Yakisoba manifested into existence!

All Purpose Stir Fry Sauce

All Purpose Stir Fry Sauce

I don’t think there’s any time of year that isn’t “right” for a fresh, quick stir fry, but I gotta admit I love making them especially in the summer!  The thing is, I’m not always into measuring out a lot of ingredients for a sauce and I’m not that thrilled about some of the bottled or packets sauces at the store or the frozen options. They’re always quick and easy but it’s not a biggie to mix up your own “Universal” All Purpose Stir Fry Sauce at home.

I’m always getting great ideas from the grocery deli. I don’t necessarily buy, but def use them for inspiration. For me that’s almost better because not only can I usually make something similar at home, like this Spicy Thai Noodle Salad cheaper, I can customize to my taste and any dietary needs, too.

Once summer comes I don’t think of food in the same way, and this year is no exception. Maybe this year, 2020, is the year most of us will be thinking about food a lot differently. I’m finding myself relaxing the rules, moving more and more away from the idea of “square meals” and trying to have more fun. There’s not much that’s more fun than these Easy Honey Garlic Chicken Wings.
