Recipe: Stir Fry

Well, I wanted to see if I could make my own stir fry, so I don't have to buy the prepackaged stuff. I'd say I was pretty successful. I threw 2 cups of broccoli florets, 2 cups of chopped carrots, 2 cups of sliced mushroom, 1/3 a green bell pepper all chopped up, and 1 drained can of yellow corn into a big pot. I added 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of water. I cooked it on medium-high for about 5 minutes, covered, but stirring every minute or so. Then I added 2 tablespoons of teriyaki sauce and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce. Cooked it for about 3 minutes then took it off the heat. It was good, though my sauce wasn't quite as tasty as the one from the package. And I'm not sure it was less expensive enough to be worth all the effort. Especially since my favorite part of stir fry is the water chestnut, which I don't even know where to buy, or how much more that would make it cost. Also, I'd probably nix the corn next time. My little girl loved picking out the corn and carrots, but for me it was hard to eat and was the highest calorie item I put in. Cauliflower, snap peas, and red bell peppers would have made this really nice. And maybe the baby corn. Where do you even get baby corn? I'll try to do it a little different next time, because I'm definitely not ready to give up!
