Simple Stir Fry
I just wanted something light and healthy since I had ice cream twice yesterday.
It was so good.
2 big boneless, sliced into strips ,chicken breast
4 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons cornstarch
4 tablespoons oil
One chopped jalepeno pepper
2 tablespoons sesame oil
6 cloves chopped garlic
One chopped shallot
1 1/2 inch fresh chopped ginger
2 stalks chopped celery
One red sliced pepper
2 cups sliced mushrooms
3 cups chopped baby bok choy
2 more tablespoons soy sauce
3 diced scallions
3 tablespoons crunchy peanut butter
Hot sauce or chili sauce for a condiment
Cut everything up before you start because this has to cook on a high heat and you won’t have time to chop while you are stir frying.
Mix the cornstarch and soy sauce together.
Add the chicken strips and mix well
Heat three tablespoons oil till it is hot
Add half the garlic, all the ginger and the chopped jalepeno
Cook for one minute
Add the chicken
Spread it out to a single layer and leave it alone until a crust forms and then start stir frying
Cook till’ it is well done and remove to a plate
Place the remaining tablespoon of oil in the pan and add the remaining garlic and shallot
Cook for one minute
Add the celery and stir fry for a minute
Add the mushrooms and peppers and stir fry for another minute
Add the bok choy and stir fry for another minute
Add the chicken back into the pan
Add the sesame oil and the soy sauce
Stir fry till everything is combined but don’t over cook the vegetables. They should be crunchy.
Add the peanut butter on top and mix it in. Extra peanuts can be added if you like.
The peanut butter can also be eliminated if you don’t like it.
Garnish with the scallions.
