Get something stirred up today!

People love stir-fry! It's lean, it is comprised of many interesting layers, and the taste combinations are endless.

This recipe will make enough to generously feed four. Eat with chopsticks and don't forget the fortune cookies!

Meat Preparation

1 pound of chicken strips, raw works best and you can use either white or dark meat

1/3 Cup of soy sauce

1 Generous Tablespoon of molasses

2 Tablespoons of apple juice

1 ½ Teaspoon of dry mustard

¼ Cup of water

¼ Teaspoon of ginger or fresh grated gingerroot

Minced garlic, amount is dependent on your personal tastebuds.

Vegetables & Other Ingredients

Of the following, add about four cups of a combination of your favorite ingredients:

Bamboo Shoots

Mushrooms, from Shiitake to Portobella, Water Chestnuts , Sprouts,

Red Pepper, Green Pepper, Scallions, Bok Choy, Carrots, Onions,

Sweet Potato, Acorn Squash, Currants, Snow Peas

Create the marinade by combining all of the ingredients, except the chicken. When marinade is thoroughly mixed, pour over the chicken. Marinate at room temperature for at least twenty minutes.

A great marinating tip is to use a plastic zipper bag. It's easy to turn, and helps ensure that the chicken is thoroughly saturated with the marinade.

Next, fire up a non-stick skillet or your wok and when it's fiery hot, add a bit of peanut oil then the drained chicken. Cook until juices run clear then quickly add your veggies. Serve over rice or noodles with a side glaze if desired. Glazes and other stir-fry marinades can be purchased at your local supermarket and there are some pretty fantastic-tasting ones out there!

Stir-Fry Tips

Turn up the heat! The trick is to keep the food moving to prevent scorching or burning.

If more oil is needed, bring it to the frying temperature before adding more food.

If you are watching your waistline, try adding a bit of water rather than oil.

When 'stirring' your stir-fry, gently list and turn the food using a folding motion.
