by - 14:45



This quick stir fry is just what every busy mom need's to feed her family this past week.  As long as my family keeps requesting stir fries, I will keep making them at least once or twice a week.  They are a great way to make quick and nutritious meals that can feed my family as well give me some yummy leftovers when I am home alone for lunch during the week






For preparing this dish I used store-bought hoisin sauce makes this chicken stir-fry easy and fast. You can substitute any quick-cooking vegetable, such as mushrooms, thinly sliced carrots, or broccoli florets. this is only a guideline you can add any vegetable you have on hand. for best taste buy stir fry vegetables mix

Round out the meal with Steamed brown or white Rice.







Step 1: Sliced chicken into bite size pieces.  Then season lightly with salt and black pepper.  Add cornstarch and toss well.  Heat 2-3 Tbs Olive oil you can use regular oil if not having olive, than i used large wok style pan and add chicken and stir fry until it starts to change color. 


Step 2:  Add celery and carrot and stir fry with chicken. Then add the hoisin sauce, ginger. red chili flakes and soy sauce and stir well it was beautiful 







Step 3:  Taste for salt and seasoning.  Serve hot with cooked white or brown rice.  Enjoy.  

Serves 6-8 people.


Freezing Ginger How-to:  freezing ginger is one of my favorite kitchen tips.  To prepare it, just wash and peel the skin.  Then put it into a freezer safe bag and you have fresh ginger when ever you need.  All you do is pull it out of the freezer and use a grater zester to get the desired texture you want.  I don't like my ginger too big so I always use a small size grate.







Note - For all busy moms out there this is quick and easy meal that your loved ones will like, and it is a good way to get them to eat more veggies
