CHICKEN STIR FRY





3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts


1/2 head cauliflower, cut into florets


2 stalks broccoli, florets and sliced stem


3 or 4 carrots, sliced on bias


1 c. snow peas


Ginger root, sm. amount, diced


1 green pepper, sliced


1 sweet onion, sliced


1 clove garlic, minced


1/4 lb. mushrooms, sliced


2 tbsp. peanut oil


1 tsp. sesame oil (optional)


1 tsp. cornstarch, dissolved in 1 tsp. water


3/4 c. hot water


1 tsp. unseasoned chicken bouillon


1 tsp. lemon juice


Stir fry or Teriyaki sauce





Prepare vegetables you like, drain. Slice chicken breasts thinly with the grain of the meat (easiest if partly frozen). In a wok saute hard vegetables in peanut oil until tender. Set aside and cook soft vegetables. Add chicken and stir-fry sauce and stew with vegetables while preparing broth. Combine bouillon and hot water. Add cornstarch mixture and lemon juice. Pour over vegetables and chicken. Cook until thick. Serve with steamed rice. A good potluck dish.
I love my stir fry with egg. Chop all your ingredients so that they will all have a similar cooking time- so cut the carrots in thin strips, and the bok choy you can keep in big chunks, the red peppers can be in big chunks too. Then in a hot wok, add some canola oil and pour in 2 beaten eggs. Let it bubble up and cook 3/4 way. Then cut it up with your spatula. Throw in your diced chicken thigh (without the bone- the thigh never gets dry) And stir fry till its 3/4 cooked, Then add a splash of soy sauce, sweet chilli sauce, crushed garlic, oyster sauce, sprinkle with pepper. Add the other veggies. The key is not to overdo the veggies, or you will end up with stew, not stir fry. Wait till the pan is really hot before adding them in. Literally 2 handfuls of veggies will do. Stir that around. Sprinkle a couple drops of sesame oil and serve!
