Grab a Book & Cook
We’re repeating last December’s theme due to popular demand: It’s the end of the year and we’re taking a moment to reflect – The Recipe ReDux has been around for 54 months! To celebrate, we’re playing a little party game this month: Grab your nearest cookbook and ReDux the recipe on page 54 or 154. We can’t wait to see the books you’re cooking from these days.
Anyways so I’m not totally following this month’s prompt but when I mentioned it to my husband he suggested I Redux one of his favorite takeout recipes…. Sure, Pat, why not!? So I bring you a Thai stir fry light on the sodium, no added sugar, and fish sauce free because I hate fish sauce. Since I was making it for Pat I used chicken but tofu or shrimp would work well also.
