ok on to stir-fry

Here's a simple recipe for Chicken Stir-Fry

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
Cut into bite-size pieces
Marinate for 15-30 minutes in: 2 Tbsp. white wine
1 Tbsp soy sauce
1 Tbsp sesame oil

Heat small amount (1-2 Tbsp) olive oil in a wok or large frying pan and saute 2-3 cloves garlic (or use 1 tsp. minced garlic)
Add chicken pieces & stir fry until cooked through (cut a piece and make sure it's white all the way through...no pink)
Remove the chicken
Add 1 Tbsp. olive oil to pan and stir fry 3 cups of fresh broccoli cut into bite size pieces
Add 3-4 green onions sliced
Add 1 Tbsp. shredded ginger (peel the root and then cut into really small pieces, ie mince)
*ginger roots can be frozen until needed

Add the chicken.
Add 1/2 cup chicken broth (I use 1 chicken bouillion cube in 1/2 cup hot water
Add 1/2 tsp sesame oil
Thicken with cornstarch: Take 1 Tbsp. cornstarch and mix well with 1/4 cup cold water, until all the clumps are out. Then add to the stir-fry to thicken the sauce.

You can also add peanuts or cashews or almonds if you like. Or baby corn or carrots or any other veggie you like. Wa-Lah!
