Stir fry is a staple in my house, once a week usually. It is a quick and easy meal that requires more prep time than cooking time. This is one of my staple recipes
Sliced chicken breast
Soy sauce to taste
Fish sauce, couple drops per chicken breast, use to much and you will know it!
Olive oil, splash per chicken breast
Rice wine vinegar, maybe a teaspoon per chicken breast
Red pepper flakes to taste
Sliced garlic to taste, I love garlic so 2-3 cloves per chicken breast
Combine all the above in a bowl and move to the fridge to marinate for an hour or so(do not go to long, the vinegar will turn the chicken to mush)
While that is marinating slice the following into bite sized pieces
Broccoli
Mushrooms
Onion
Water chestnut(frozen, canned taste like crap)
Carrot(cut this into match stick size)
and any other veg you like, or cheat and use frozen stir fry blend from the store
Corn starch slurry
Chicken broth if needed
Heat a wok to smoking, add a tablespoon of oil and swirl to coat the sides and bottom, wait for it to smoke again and add the drained chicken(pick off as much of the garlic as you can or it will burn). Stir this as it sears and browns. When almost cooked through remove and set aside. Add the veg and cook to almost crisp tender then add the chicken back along with the marinade(this is generally frowned on but it will be brought to a boil for 3-4 minutes) and bring to a boil for 3-4 minutes to finish cooking the chicken. Add a little chicken broth if needed then thicken the sauce with the corn starch. Serve over rice or chowmein noodles(I like the crunch sometimes). Soy sauce on the side for those who like it(me! I love the stuff)
No this is not a real Chinese recipe, it is one I came up with that I like, it is tasty and quick to cook.
Post up your stir fry concoctions, I have used sliced steak, sliced up wild game... anything goes in my opinion!
