Three's Company

There are many perks to living with a boy roommate. They can reach things you can't. They always have a wide selection of movies, in the case of this boy roommate we are talking HundredS of movies. They take out the trash. And your boyfriend always has someone to bro it up with when he comes over. 

This scenario makes for, at least in our house, a classic 90's sitcom show - the 2k version. If only some major television producer would catch on... 

Regardless of who's watching us and who's not, our little trio has a colorful sense of humor and a dynamic sense of taste. After a long weekend of this, that and everything in between, the best weekend wind down is a one pot, or wok, meal for three. 

This week's menu featured a Surf 'n' Turf Stir-Fry. Made with 100% grass-fed beef & farm raised shrimp. Also, we used fresh noodles bought at our local Asian grocery store. If you've never tried em, you should. They have many varieties of noodles, even some green ones made with vegetables! 

So one of us brought the rib-eye. The other brought the shrimp. Veggies were a compilation of treasures found in each roommates respective veggie drawer. And the third one brought the dessert. 

The result? A perfectly sweet, spicy and smokey stir-fry* paired with Northern Lights IPA (we forgot to mention another perk of a male roomie: excellent eye for tasty brews). The key to good wok cooking is to let that baby getting smoking hot, literally smoking, before you start tossing around the goods.

Oh, and for dessert, Ben & Jerry's Americone Ice Cream - I adore waffle cones. 

*we've been asked, on several occasions, what brand of stir-fry sauce or teryiaki sauce we use in our stir-frys. Excuse me?

We make our own and you should too. A little o this, a little o that. Use em all, or don't. Add your own variations. Be one, with your sauce.
(ps, a few sauces bottles missing from this equation include soy sauce, red wine vinegar and every now and then I throw in raw sugar.)
