to expect a stirfry to have rice/noodles with it?

[RitaMorgan]

Apologies for possibly the most petty AIBU ever, but DP and I just had a huge row about this!

When I do a stirfry, it is some combination of meat and/or veg with noodles or rice and a sauce. DP thinks that stirfried meat and/or veg in a sauce is a perfectly acceptable meal

AIBU or is he nuts?

[GuillotinedMaryLacey]

I would always do some noodles with it, seems a bit unfinished otherwise.

[KatAndKit]

Yes, it needs noodles!

[troisgarcons]

Ummm I only do meat and veg.

[dexter73]

Definitely noodles or rice needed too.

[RitaMorgan]

Is that a complete meal then troisgarcons? Just meat and veg?

[Kayano]

DH does veg and meat with a bit of rice but I prefer noodles

And as he cooks and I don't he gets rice lol

[FairhairedandFrustrated]

Deffo rice or noodles.

Or sometimes I go all out & have a jacket potato!!

[fatlazymummy]

It depends on if you are doing the no carb thing or not. Personally I would have a small amount of noodles or rice, as I don't feel a meal is complete without some form of carbs.

[Meglet]

YANBU.

Essential to have noodles or rice with it IMO.

[squeakytoy]

i would put beansprouts in, but no rice or noodles..

[KatyMac]

meat & veg

[KatyMac]

or even just veg

Yum

[Bellavita]

Noodles!

[JambalayaCodfishDIE]

I dont use noodles, I have lots of beansprouts. :)

[yellowraincoat]

You need noodles or else, where are the lovely filling carbs?

[TiggyD]

I go for extra veg to keep calories down. Usually bean-sprouts.

[wigglesmonsterock]

I've just had one with noodles but I have been known to make it with just beansprouts.

[thisisyesterday]

of course it has rice or noodles... wouldn't be a proper stir-fry without.

does your DP also have a roast without potatoes?

how weird!

[Viagrafalls]

noodles or rice, definitely!

[troisgarcons]

You havent seen the size of my stirfrys .... mind you now I think about it - at work they have noodles. Cant say I ever thought about doing them at home. I shall ponder this.

[GrownUpNow]

Meat and veg with bean sprouts is nice... lower carbs I would think. Good if you are trying to cut them out a bit.

Mmmm... I want bean sprouts now.

[RitaMorgan]

None of us are trying to cut calories or go low carb... I don't think a carb-less dinner is filling enough for a toddler either.

[troisgarcons]

Bean sprouts come under the veg heading in my book!

[LittleMissFlustered]

Stir fry doesn't need carbs. It's just nice to have them. Chow mein needs noodles though. Lovely thick ones.

Gits. I'm starving now!
