So by the time I got to the grocery store and the meat store, I really didn't have enough time to cook the basmati, so I went with a 10 minute brown rice.

i used ra little reduced sodium soy sauce, some black pepper and ginger to flavor the stir fry. It came out great, and the kids really liked it. If I had remembered my wife was going to eat leftover mac and cheese she made yesterday (it's homemade....not the box stuff) I rpobably would have done something with the cilantro silver suggested. I just wished she would have tried it...I know she would have liked it (she doesn't have much faith in my cooking skills, and will only eat things I have made successfully before....guess she has no plans to be a guinea pig) Oh well, I'm learning and doing my best, that's all I can say.

Thanks for the ideas, i'll try the basmati next time because I will make this again.

Good job, MrWag! Especially that the kids liked it. Mine would have rather starve than allow a vegetable to pass through their lips. They grew up in spite of it.

Trying new things and seeing what works, and especially what doesn't work is the only way to learn.

scalywag: very cool, and i'm glad to hear it went over so well. :> also, if you're really interested in developing your cooking skills, i can wholeheartedly recommend watching more food network. never mind my opinion of rachael ray--

but it's quite educational. try catching good eats particularly: alton brown is smart, funny and really focuses on the science of cooking. he's particularly popular among IT foodies, for good reason.
