Instapot stir-fry

I found this recipe for instapot ramen stir-fry online. It is a great basic recipe. I want to continue to tweak it. 

Ingredients:

Choice of veggies. We used onions, carrots, and peas.

2 packs of ramen

1 cup of water or chicken stock

4 Tbsp soy sauce (1 for chicken, 3 for end sauce)

1 tsp sesame oil

Optional toppings: Fried egg, sliced green onions, sriracha sauce.

I sautéed the vegetables for a couple of minutes and then deglazed the pan with the chicken stock.  I threw in some precooked chicken and the broken chunks of noodles.  I cooked it on high for one minute and then did a quick pressure release. I added the sesame oil and soy sauce and gave it a gentle stir. After letting it rest for five minutes it was dished into bowls. Grown-ups got a fried egg and some sliced green onions. 

Stovetop Granola

I like to make a double batch of this. The recipe is simple, delicious, and makes me happy.  

2 c. oatmeal (I've tried kamut and instant oats, but I think regular oatmeal is the best fit.)

2 Tb butter

1 Tb honey

2 Tb brown sugar

1/2 tsp vanilla

1 tsp salt

Desired additions (raisins, pumpkin seeds, sliced almonds, dried fruit)

Toast oats on cookie sheet under broiler. Combine butter, honey, brown sugar, vanilla, and salt in a pan over low heat on the stove. Cook mixture for one minute then add in toasted oats.  Cook and stir mixture for 3-4 minutes. Add 1/3 cup of desired fixings and cook for one more minute. Spread end mixture on cookie sheet and return to warmed oven for 15-30 minutes. (The oven should be warm from broiling, but not on.) This helps the granola crisp up. Keep in an air tight container. 

I love my granola sprinkled over yogurt. Sliced almonds, pumpkin seeds, and raisins are my favorite combo. What would you add to your granola?
