Fridge Clean Out Stir Fry Recipe

Fridge Clean Out Stir Fry Recipe

There are moments when we urgently need to use the food stored in our fridge. I experienced one of these moments while traveling and wanted to avoid discarding any perishable items. So, let's take a look at what I had in the fridge for this Fridge Clean Out Stir Fry Recipe.

I had a leftover whole potato which was already cooked (microwaved)

1/4 purple cabbage, 1 apple, spring onion, a few carrots, tomatoes, and capsicum. lemons, spinach

I considered using the tomatoes and capsicum for a sandwich, as carrots stay fresh longer, so I'll leave them in the fridge. Let's prepare a stir-fry with the remaining ingredients, adding a few items from the non-perishable section.

These are what I used, but the options are limitless. Incorporate leftover rice or noodles. Use fresh potatoes, but slice them thinly.

Questions to consider:

What about adding capsicum, green peas, or other salad ingredients? You can include almost anything that cooks well and isn't exclusively used fresh.

What sauces do you have? I used horseradish because it complements everything in my stir-fry, but what do you have in your fridge?

By the way, I also had some garlic paste, but I was considerate of my husband and fellow travelers, so I chose not to use any, lol. It keeps well anyway.

Do you have any additional vegetables or fruits? A little bit of fruit can add sweetness and enhance salty flavors.

Feel free to sprinkle some fresh herbs as well!

The result looks like a big mess, but its delicious, healthy and soooo sustainable. We really should call it Marchi's Mess.
