Ingredients:
1-2 lbs of chicken breast sliced thin (you can substitute shrimp, beef, pork or tofu as well)
Stir fry vegetables of your choice. I used carrots, broccoli, water chestnuts, yellow onions and spring onions)
1-2Tbs of cornstarch
salt and pepper
2 Tbs of canola or peanut oil
The Basic Stir Fry Sauce
1/4 cup of regular soy sauce
1/2 cup of chicken broth (or water/bullion equivalent)
2 inches of ginger grated or minced
3-4 cloves of garlic grated or minced
2tsp of cornstarch (or arrowroot)
1 tsp of honey, brown sugar or regular sugar
Directions:
Thinly slice your chicken (beef or pork). A tip to thinly slice meat easily is to have it partially frozen so it's still firm. Place in a bowl with a little salt and pepper and 1-2 Tbs of cornstarch and coat lightly. If you are using shrimp or tofu you can coat them as well with the cornstarch.
Cut your vegetables and get your ginger and garlic minced or grated. Chinese stir fry vegetables should be cut "chunky" so they will still be crispy once the stir fry process is over. You don't want soggy or mushy vegetables in your stir fry (unless you like it that way).
**Remember to have all your ingredients ready to go so once you get the wok hot, it only has to be added when needed.
Heat your wok on high heat and add your oil. Once the oil gets very hot (almost smoking) add the chicken in and give a quick stir fry for a minute or two. Then add your chili flakes and ginger and garlic. Stir fry for another 2 minutes.
Next add your carrot chunks and large chucks of yellow onion. Stir fry for another minute.
Next add your broccoli, water chestnuts and the prepared sauce. Stir fry for 4-5 minutes. The sauce will thicken and the broccoli should become tender crisp. If you want your vegetables "steamed" longer you can place a lid on your wok or put a tin foil cover over the wok to steam the vegetables longer. If your sauce thickens too much add a dash of water to thin it out. Taste for seasoning. If you require more salt add little more soy sauce.
Your stir fry is ready now. Eat if over rice or just as it is and enjoy.
