Delicious Crab Stir-fry



Stir-fry has become my "go to" meal for something quick and delicious. As long as you have soy sauce and veggies you can make an amazing stir-fry! In this recipe, I'm using imitation crab meat... I REALLY love it and it makes this dish come alive. You can try the same with chicken, steak, tofu or shrimp.






Ingredients:
- 3 cups of stir-fry veggies (frozen is easy)
- 1 cup pasta, any variety
- 2 cups imitation crab meat, (or any other meat)
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 6 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup stir-fry sauce
- 1 tablespoon spicy stir-fry sauce
- olive oil
- crushed red pepper flakes
- salt
- pepper

To Make:
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook for 8-9 minutes or until al-dente.

In a large saute pan, drizzle olive oil to coat the bottom and saute the onions and garlic for about 3 minutes. Add in the crab meat, breaking up into smaller pieces. Add a teaspoon of soy sauce. Let this cook about 6 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes.

Add in the veggies. Mix together. Add 1/2 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes and pepper. Add in the stir-fry sauce, spicy sauce and the rest of the soy sauce. Mix together and allow to cook until the veggies are tender, not overdone. About 6 minutes. The best way to tell if they are done is to test a piece of broccoli (that takes the longest to cook.) Add more salt if needed.

Add in the pasta and mix together. Add in more stir-fry sauce if needed.

Serve immediately and ENJOY!
