Here's a dish I concocted recently that’s healthy and tastes good. It includes lots of veggies, spices, and chicken.
Sauce (played around for a bit but don’t remember quantities):
Crushed red pepper
Sugar (or Splenda)
Corn starch
Lemon powder
Garlic powder
Chili powder
½ cup Water
Meat:
Chicken thighs cut into small strips
Contents:
3 tablespoons oil (I used EVOO (hi RRay!))
5 oz. can bamboo shoots
2 carrots cut into matchstick pieces
2 celery stalks sliced
5 mushrooms
½ red pepper cut into thin strips
7 green onions sliced diagonally
½ cup of peanuts (cashews would probably be better)
Make sauce by whisking everything together, and set aside. Heat pan to hot, and then add oil. Once oil is hot, add chicken; stir-fry until cooked. I went more than cooked and waited until browned a little and somewhat crunchy to the touch. Add all vegetables except mushrooms and bamboo shoots and stir-fry some more. Once everything is soft, add shrooms and bamboo and stir-fry another 3 minutes. Whish sauce to remix, and then add to pan. Stir-fry for 2 minutes while it thickens, and then add the nuts. Turn off heat, and stir-fry for another 90 seconds.
Serve alone or with rice, and enjoy!
It’s an easy dish to make, but chopping & slicing can take a long time. Can I hire a sous chef for 10 minutes? It took me damn near an hour to chop up everything.
