LunchBox Tuesday: Kid friendly Stir fry

April 12, 2011 By Melanie Roberts 4 Comments

This isn’t your ordinary Stir fry… I bet your kids will go crazy over this… I know mine did….This nutty mix of veggie impostors is guaranteed to cause a stir! This is such a cool idea and my kids love it… Check it out, this surely will be a hit in your little ones lunchbox

This is what you need:

  • Fruit Roll-Ups, 2 to 3 green rolls and 1 red roll
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons hulled sunflower seeds
  • 1 1/2 cups dried apple rings
  • 3/4 cup dried pineapple chunks
  • 1/2 cup cashews

 

This is how to make your Stir fry

  1. First, make a bunch of pea pods. For each one, cut a 2 1/4-inch square from a green fruit roll. Arrange five or six sunflower seeds (for peas) on the strip in a vertical row, just off center. Fold the strip in half over the seeds and press the edges together to seal them. Use a butter knife or kitchen scissors to trim the sealed edges into a rounded pod shape.
  2. Next, cut the red fruit roll into thin pepper strips and the apple rings into bite-size chicken pieces. For the full effect, combine the pea pods, pepper strips, chicken pieces, pineapple chunks, and cashews in a frying pan. Or serve the mix on plates with chopsticks. Makes three cups.

    Thanks, I will have to try this, we really like cashews and pineapple, so maybe that would be enough to convince the kids.
