Fabulous Stir-Fry

Oh my goodness friends I can’t believe it’s been 3 weeks since I posted!  School has kept me insanely busy and we are doing easy easy meals for dinner these days, and often Tyler is the one doing the cooking.  I often resort to PBJ when I’m really busy with homework.  This recipe was Tyler’s idea to make, it’s based off the stir fry we made at the KC Culinary Center this summer.  Since I am mildly allergic to shrimp Tyler subbed chicken.  I think this stir-fry is fabulous.  If you live in the KC area, we were unable to find the black bean sauce at HyVee or SuperTarget, but Hen House came through for us.  You could add all kinds of great things to this stir fry, it’s a great base.  Tyler bought dried mushrooms and soaked them, also yummy!
