Fish Stir Fry with Spinach and Shiitakes

 

Thanks to everyone for all of the birthday wishes!  It was so appreciated.

Unfortunately, my week has been crazy – as in 3 eight page papers, 2 group projects and a midterm so my bday passed by in a blur.  My awesome husband did all the laundry Wednesday as I worked on the final paper due this week which is great since we were almost out of clean clothes.

But it’s casino time tomorrow!  And I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.  I’ve got one more eight page case study due next week, and then the week after I’ve got another case study and one more test but after that it should be *fingers crossed* easier.

And if it’s not, you’ll probably find me curled up in some corner somewhere eating salt, vinegar and garlic pork rinds.  Disclaimer: Not that I advocate pork rinds on my healthy cooking blog but sometimes you just need a super bad for you but oh so crazy delicious snack to get you through a stressful time.

Anyway, all this work is taking me away from what I really want to do, BLOG!

So let’s get back to it.  I’m always trying to think up new ways to get us to eat fish since my husband and I are not the biggest fans and I hit it out of the ballpark with this one.

In the craziness of my life, I wanted something relatively quick but still tasty so I fell back on the same thing that I do every time I want something quick – a stir fry.

Actually what made this great is that other than buying the fish, spinach and shiitakes, everything else is a pantry staple for me.  Honestly, I usually have dried shiitakes in my cabinets and could have easily used those instead – the only reason I didn’t is because I was randomly out.

So I highly encourage you to play around if you make this recipe – you can easily sub in or out any ingredients you have on hand.  I used rice stick noodles but if you don’t normally have those, feel free to use some spaghetti or even rotini.

Throw in the wonderful depth from some shiitakes and you end up one seriously tasty dish.
