The quick lunch

I will admit, it sometimes seems a bit intimidating to try and figure out a quick lunch... especially when I am sick of salad. 

But here is a super fast, super easy stirfry that really satisfies and is all good.

In a sauté pan, I put a bit of extra virgin olive oil and wait until it starts to shimmer.  Next drop in 2 sliced cloves of garlic and about 3 ounces of sliced left over steak.  Once the garlic has begun to brown slightly, I add a big handful of washed baby spinach, a dash of toasted sesame oil and a dash of soy sauce.  Once the spinach starts to wilt, I add a package of shirataki noodles that have been rinsed well and drained.  Stir it all up for a moment then dump in a bowl.  Top with plenty of freshly ground black pepper and a bit of chili paste and enjoy with chopsticks!

To make this a vegetarian dish would be a cinch.  Just substitute mushrooms for the beef and cook them until tender before adding the spinach.  Or use tofu cubes.  Or even a sliced egg omelet. 

This seriously takes 5 minutes and is delicious!
