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?

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

Yes, it needs noodles!

Ummm I only do meat and veg.

Definitely noodles or rice needed too.

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

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

Deffo rice or noodles.

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

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.

YANBU.

Essential to have noodles or rice with it IMO.

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

meat & veg

or even just veg

Yum

Noodles!

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

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

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

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

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!

noodles or rice, definitely!

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.

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.

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.

Bean sprouts come under the veg heading in my book!

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!
