Chicken and Stir Fry Veggies

I absolutely love stir fry or anything resembling asian food. It's an addiction really. But any how I went to lunch at a chinese restaurant with my mom and daughter yesterday and decided I'd keep the theme going for dinner time.

So I started with chicken marinating chicken:

-About 2 TBSP Oyster Sauce
-About 1-1.5 TSP Fish Sauce
-1 clove of garlic minced 
-Some fresh grated ginger (you could use powdered as well)

I left it like that for a couple hours while it defrosted on the counter.

Next is the veggies:

-Half a bag of Frozen broccoli
-Handful of bean sprouts
-1 small onion chopped
-1 zucchini sliced
-2 sliced carrots
-2 cloves of garlic minced
-1 to 2 handfuls of snap peas
-2 green onion sliced


I cooked the veggies in my new wok (SO exciting!) and the chicken in my new non-stick "Orgreenic" pan.

I prefer to cook with coconut oil because it is so good for you and adds and interesting flavor!

I put a small spoonful in the wok with the garlic and onions and sauteed for a couple of minutes.

Then I added the carrots, broccoli and then the peas (because they are the "hardest" of the veggies.

After sauteing them for a few minutes, I added the rest.

And of course toward the end I turned the heat way up and stirred continuously to get them nice and browned!

As they cooked I added a bit of soy sauce, oyster sauce, onion powder and salt and pepper.

Some red hot pepper flakes would be good but I didn't want it to be spicy for my 4 year old.

Simultaneously I cut the chicken into strips and poured it into the pan:

It doesn't look super appetizing in this photo, but that's okay.

As it neared completion, I noticed it's lack of color and scent [and I happen to be HUGE on flavor] So I added a bit of sweet and sour sauce that I had in my fridge (purchased from a grocery store).

It gave the chicken a pretty pink color and added just the right amount of flavor to compliment the marinade. I forgot to take a picture because I was so hungry, but all in all it was yummy! And even though I didn't cook the meat and veggies together, it tasted fine mixed.

PS: put this over rice! And then you have your protein, veggie, and carb all in one bowl :) Unless of course you are dieting.....
