Favorite Quick & Easy Asian Stir-Fry
- 2 -3 tablespoons peanut oil
- 1 boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 1/2 inch pieces (or thinly sliced sirloin strips, or cleaned tailless frozen shrimp)
- 16 ounces frozen stir fry vegetables (ie Birdseye Terriyaki)
- additional assorted fresh vegetable, as desired (try asparagus tips, spinach, snow peas, bean sprouts, etc)
- 1 cup frozen peas or 1 cup snow peas
- 12-1 teaspoon Chinese five spice powder (optional)
- sherry wine (optional)
- reduced sodium soy sauce (optional)
- crisp chow mein noodles (optional)
- hot cooked rice (jasmine rice or brown rice)
- Warm wok or large skillet on medium heat.
- Add a couple tablespoons oil (I use peanut oil for stir frying, as it has a high heat tolerance).
- Toss in the chicken (or beef), turn up heat to med-high .
- Stir fry the chicken for a few minutes until no longer pink.
- Add in frozen stir fry veggies (and fresh asparagus tips, etc), and stir well.
- Continue to cook for about 15 more minutes, stirring occasionally, until done to your liking (you may need to add a couple tablespoons of water).
- Stir in the frozen peas and heat through for a few minutes.
- Add in the frozen precooked shrimp with the peas, if desired.
- You can add about 1/2 teaspoon of Chinese Five Spice Powder, if desired.
- (A dash of sherry and reduced sodium soy sauce is good, too, as is a swizzle of sesame oil).
- Serve over hot rice and top with crisp chow mein noodles, if desired.
- Makes 4 servings.
