... I didn’t have much time because I wanted to be done in time for the Start Moving/Stay Moving conference call. 

In a large (3-quart) saucepan, I sauteed

1 medium onion, chopped
1 Tbs. minced garlic

in about 1 Tbs. olive oil

When that was translucent, I added

16 oz. frozen stir-fry vegetables (that had been thawed in a colander under cold running water while the onions cooked)
14.5 oz can diced tomatoes (with the juice)
2 cans of black beans (I drained & rinsed one can and used the other can with its liquid)
about 2 tsp. Sriracha
salt and pepper to taste

When that mixture had come back up to a slow boil, I reduced the heat, covered the pan and let it simmer for about 10 minutes to make sure the frozen veggies were cooked.

I then divided the mixture into four servings on top of the brown rice I had cooked Sunday afternoon. 

It was yummy! grin

Sound yummy!  I have never heard of siracha - but I am always willing to try something new! I love all rice/stir fry combos.

I didn’t know it came in other flavors, either, until I read that Wikipedia article. 

The one I use looks just like this - with the rooster on the front!

It’s actually ”Sriracha” , not Siracha.  Definitely look for it in the Asian foods section of the grocery store.  It’s one of those things I keep in the fridge at all times.  You never know when you need to add some heat to a dish!

I’ve never actually used galangal but I understand it’s a bit like ginger.

Galangal is very hard to find,I’ve only seen it fresh once. Maybe if you lived in a city with a large Thai population,My favorite ginger is tummeric!

I’m lucky!  Houston has a VERY big Asian population and I don’t have to travel very far to find a well-stocked Asian grocery.

I am going to have to try this! I am sure I can find the ingredients. I do hate cooking for one ... maybe I can invite someone over. Thanks for the fabulous tasty idea!

I gotten to where I don’t even bother trying to cook for one.  I just make something that serves four and nuke the leftovers for a very quick dinner or lunch during the week.  grin
