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
