Cheater Stir Fry aka: ‘Crack Slaw’
Saving sanity on busy nights for years
I don't remember exactly where I picked up this recipe, or if it just seemed like a good idea on a busy night, but 'Crack Slaw' made it's first appearance in the Whetsel household back in 2018.
I started with the super quick (and basic) version the first time or two, then got a little 'fancier' with additional flavors and ingredients. And when I'm feeling really fancy, I'll add slivered almonds or chopped dry roasted peanuts to finish the dish.
It's too good not to share--especially at this time of year when life tends to pick up speed....
