Ingredients
Stir Fry
- 1 ½ Tablespoons peanut oil
- 2 chicken breast cubed, boneless skinless
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- ½ bok choy roughly chopped (including white stem)
- 1 ½ cups kale roughly chopped
- 3/4 cup broccoli florets
- ½ yellow onion diced
- ½ bell pepper sliced
- ¾ cup carrot sliced into thin sticks, baby
- 1 cup green beans
- 2 teaspoons garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Stir Fry Sauce:
- 1 Tablespoons fish sauce
- 2 Tablespoons oyster sauce
- 3 Tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon chili paste
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- Thickening Agent:
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 Tablespoons water cold
To Garnish:
- 1/4 cup basil shredded
- 1/2 cup almond toasted slices
- ¼ cup Chow Mein noodles crunchy
Instructions
- Before you begin, ensure that all ingredients are chopped and ready and that your sauce is mixed.
- Heat the oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt/pepper if desired. (Be careful with the salt as the sauce already has a that.) Add the chicken to the pan and sauté for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cooked through. Set the chicken aside.
- Add all vegetables to the same pan along with the garlic and red pepper flakes. Add the sauce and the thickening mixture. Cook for about 8 minutes, until the vegetables have started to soften. Don’t overcook them as you want their color and texture to remain.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add the chicken back in. Sprinkle the basil over the dish and cook for one additional minute. Add the almonds and chow main noodles and serve!
