Ingredients

2 cups cola soda pop

4-5 drops hot pepper sauce

4 cups sliced or cubed meat,

poultry OR mushrooms

1 cup uncooked white rice

2 cups lemon-lime soda pop

1 teaspoon butter

Non-Stick Cooking Spray

16 oz California Style Veggies

(from the freezer)

4-5 green onions, sliced thin

including 2" of the tops

Preparation

Pour cola into a heavy-duty ziplock style bag - add pepper sauce and meat, chicken or mushrooms. Seal and let stand 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate.

Place rice, lemon-lime soda and butter in a 6-8 cup non-stick saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer 15 minutes. (or until liquid is fully absorbed) Reomve from heat and set aside.

While rice is cooking prepare your stir-fry.

Drain the marinade from your entree choice. Spray a WOK or large fry pan with non-stick cooking spray and heat on high until a drop of water sprinkled in “dances” around the pan. Add entree all at once and quick cook, stirring constantly 4-5 minutes. Add vegetables all at once and add a large cover to “steam” them slightly for 3 minutes - remove cover and stir-fry until vegetables are crisp-tender.

To Serve: Spoon rice onto serving platter - Spoon stir fry over the top and add green onions.
