Yesterday I bought a wok. It is a great cooking investment because it speeds the process of cooking healthy making vegetables cooked but crisp in 10 minutes or less. I love it! Below is the recipe I experimented with tonight. It can easily be tweaked to suit your taste buds.
1. Marinate and let set 20 minutes or longer:
4 chicken breasts (sliced in strips), 2 T reduced sodium soy sauce, 4 T cooking sherry, 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper (optional)
2. Chop:
4 C vegetables (I used 1 yellow onion, 1 small cabbage, and 2 bell peppers, and 5 to 10 cloves of garlic. Mushrooms and green onions are great too!)
3. Heat on medium high:
2 T peanut or sunflower seed oil and 1 T ground or minced ginger
4. Add chicken and cook until barely pink
5. Add vegetables
6. Mix in a small bowl:
1/2 C reduced sodium chicken stock, 2 T cornstarch, 2 T sugar or honey, 2 T reduced sodium soy sauce
7. Add sauce to the stir fry and serve immediately with brown rice or without. This is a great, low carb recipe with numerous health benefits.
