Just Another Stir Fry

"This is one of the first recipes I developed when I started learning how to cook. It's endured the test of time and trial, and the husband still requests it over other variations I've tried out. Prep time is active cooking time. When you use a wok, there isn't whole lot of down time while the flame is on."

directions

  • Prepare ingedients: Wash, de-seed, and slice bell peppers; cube chicken into 1" pieces; wipe off and slice or chunk mushrooms; wash carrot and slice into matchsticks; in a small bowl, mix stir fry sauce, soy sauce (you can use mushroom soy sauce, or even hoisin sauce) peanut butter, ground ginger, and sate seasoning (I get mine from Penzey's)-- Put chicken in one bowl and veggies in another-- in a small bowl, have the peanuts ready.
  • In a wok, heat oil and chili peppers; this will bring out the aroma and flavor the oil without burning the peppers-- the flavored oil helps spice the chicken; remove when they get a little too dark.
  • When oil is barely smoking, stir fry chicken quickly until half way done.
  • Add veggies all at once.
  • Stir fry until peppers and carrots are tender-crisp; add the peanuts.
  • Stir fry for 2-3 minutes more.
  • Add sauce mixture and stir constantly until it is thickened and glossy.
  • Remove from heat and serve immediately.
  • Pick a bed for your stir fry (not included in ingredients; these are just suggestions): fresh cooked rice, fried rice, fresh spinach, udon, ramen or, for the adventurous, sprouts.
  • Sides can include: fried rice, chilled pickled carrots, steamed peas, or anything your heart desires.

  1. My husband gave this 2 thumbs up. I used chicken breast cut up, and left out the chilies cuz I didn't have them. For the "stir fry sauce" I used Hoisin sauce and it worked great. I will be making this again.
