You don't normally think of bacon as something that shows up in stir fry, but why not? According to Pete Hanebutt, who shares his recipe for bacon stir fry with OYT readers this week, this is the best tasting comfort food ever. "But it's not necessarily good for your cholesterol," he laughs. "You'll enjoy this meal, just don't have it the day before your annual physical." Pete says it's important to use low sodium soy sauce because the bacon already provides enough salt.
And besides. BACON!
