This is from allrecipes dot com. I wanted some sort of stir fry recipe, and I have yet to find one that I'm capable of turning into something yummy. This is my inspiration and of course I made many variations. As usual, I'll post the original recipe and then note my changes at the end.
3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into strips
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, sliced
1 red bell pepper, seeded and cubed
1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and cubed
1 (15 ounce) can baby corn, drained
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 (16 ounce) package frozen stir-fry vegetables
1 cup water
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, sliced
1 red bell pepper, seeded and cubed
1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and cubed
1 (15 ounce) can baby corn, drained
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 (16 ounce) package frozen stir-fry vegetables
1 cup water
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon soy sauce
This is the top rated review on the recipe: That is a good start. But to have a true happy
family you need to add a few things more. You need to have shrimp, scallops and chicken. Also needed is some pea pods along with the
veggies. How I make mine is to start with onion, garlic, a little
ginger, water chestnuts stir fry together. Add some mushrooms, and
green pepper. Remove all items as you fry them in a wok and store them
in the wok cover. Stir fry some carrots, and a little celery. removing
as they are fried and keep in cover to allow flavors to visit. Stir
some mushrooms of your choice and put them in the wok cover then stir
fry the chicken, remove to a bowl, add the scallops remove to same bowl,
then stir fry shrimp. Add scallops and chicken to wok and continue to
heat. Add a mixture of corn starch and chicken broth and bring to boil
and let thicken. when thickened, add the items in the wok cover back
to make one big happy family. Served over sticky rice. All these
flavors are sure happy to be together and they will make one happy
family sitting at that dinner table.
Notes:
I used only one chicken breast, cut into bite sized pieces, tossed in cornstarch and fried.
I used half of a small onion, 1/4 of a red pepper, no yellow pepper or corn, I added a thinly sliced carrot, garlic, and broccoli.
As noted in the review above, I fried the veggies in small batches and set them aside to "visit".
Instead of water, I used low sodium chicken stock.
I sprinkled in maybe 1/4 tsp ginger powder into the chicken stock.
After all of the vegetables and chicken were fried and set aside, I heated up the pan, added a small amount of oil and when it was hot, dropped all of the stuff in it to get it steaming hot. I cranked up a pot of water and dropped in noodles to cook for 2 minutes. I dumped the soy sauce, cornstarch, and stock mixture into the veggies to simmer and thicken. I dropped the cooked noodles into the veggies and sauce and mixed it and served it immediately. And it was delicious.
