Quick Weekday Stir Fry

My kids are big fans of stir fry, and we make one almost every week.  The ingredients are healthy and inexpensive.

Here's the basics:

1) Quickly fry chunks of chicken breast in peanut oil until about 2/3 of the way cooked.  Remove and set aside.

2) Boil water for noodles or rice--I prefer capellini or vermicelli, but also use ride noodles or sticky rice.  Use what is preferred and easiest.  Don't discount instant rice either! This isn't Saturday night.

2) Add more oil then stir fry sliced onion, pepper, bok choy, or any vegetable you want to add.  When the fresh veggies are somewhat caramelized and still with a bit of crunch, I add any canned veggies. We like whole water chesnuts for more crunch.

3) Add sauce ingredients and then add chicken back to finish.  Serve over noodles or rice, or to blend flavors, we like to add the noodles into the stir fry pan to coat thoroughly.

For sauce from scratch, I might use chicken broth, soy sauce, Chinese five-spice, garlic, etc.  For more of a teriyaki flavor, use some honey, ginger, garlic, soy, and broth.

Don't be ashamed of using bottled sauce, but if you do try Soy Vay Island Teriyaki.  It is packed with ginger and garlic flavors and is the best kind I have found.

Enjoy any weeknight!
