    Chicken Teriyaki

    Ing: Chicken breast cut up in bite size pieces
    Teriyaki sauce ( I use Essential Everyday one from Albertsons, it has the best flavor)
    Any veggies you want.

    Steamed brown rice

    I usually use 2 pans. One for chicken and one for the veggies because my son loves this and I make
    extra chicken just for him : )

    Start the chicken between low and medium, don't add the sauce yet. Season with pepper. After you
    have turned the chicken a few times, drizzle the sauce over it, and stir. You don't really need a bunch
    of it for the chicken because as the chicken cooks, it gives off juice and that will mix with the teriyaki sauce,

    Once the chicken is about 1/2 way done, turn on the veggies. Drizzle with a little teriyaki sauce.
    They just have to cook until soft, try not to over do it. (the safest way is to steam then add sauce later)

    Once veggies are done, and chicken is cooked, I mix it all in a large bowl.

    I never use oil, just spray the pans before hand. Also, if the pan is too hot, the sauce will get thick,
    keep stirring.

    Enjoy!

    Stir fried lettuce:
    1 head of lettuce
    2-4 tablespoons oyster sauce (depending on your tastebuds and all that)
    2 tsp sesame oil
    You stir it all together until the lettuce gets softer but not wilted (I personally let it get more wilty than usual because I like it that way). eventually it'll all reduce to a manageable, tasty amount!


    My absolute fave was this one though: http://www.howsweeteats.com/2014/02/chili-garlic-beef-stir-fry-with-coconut-jasmine-rice/
    I've pasted the recipe here.

    Chili Garlic Beef Stir-Fry with Coconut Jasmine Rice
    1 1/2 pounds thinly sliced beef
    1 teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon pepper
    1/4 cup olive oil
    3 tablespoons brown sugar
    1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, diced
    2 teaspoons adobo sauce from the can of chipotles in adobo
    4 garlic cloves, minced
    2 tablespoons coconut oil
    1 green bell pepper, chopped
    1 red bell pepper, chopped
    1 sweet onion, sliced

    coconut jasmine rice
    1 1/2 cups jasmine rice
    1 1/2 cups light canned coconut milk
    1/2 cup coconut water
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1 1/2 tablespoons coconut oil
    2 tablespoons finely shredded, unsweetened coconut

    directions:
    chili garlic beef
    At least 2 hours before, season the beef with salt and pepper. Whisk together the oil, sugar, chipotle pepper, adobo sauce and garlic cloves in a bowl. Add the beef to a baking dish or ziplock bag and pour the marinade ingredients overtop. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or even overnight.

    When you're ready to cook the beef, heat a large skillet or wok over high heat. (as a note, I do not add the marinade to the skillet - I remove the beef with kitchen tongs and whatever marinade is on the beef comes along. The rest is discarded.) Add the coconut oil and once melted, add the beef in 2 or 3 batches. You don't want to crowd the beef and you only want to cook it for a few minutes so it stays tender. Sear the beef for 1 to 2 minutes, then flip and sear the other side. Remove the beef and place in a bowl - and repeat with remaining beef.

    Once all of the beef is in the bowl, reduce the heat to medium-high. Add in the peppers and onions and stir well to coat, scraping any bits off the bottom. Cook until the vegetables just start to soften, about 2-3 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, add the beef back to the skillet and toss. Cover and let sit over warm heat for 5 to 10 minutes so the flavors can marry a bit. Serve immediately with the coconut jasmine rice.

    coconut jasmine rice
    Heat a saucepan over medium-high heat and add rice, coconut milk, coconut water and salt. Stir, then bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover and let cook for about 30 minutes, until liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork, then stir in coconut oil. Stir in the shredded coconut and serve. Adjust the liquid and cook time according to your directions.

    Hello, love to have stir fry if I'm out for dinner but rarely make at home. I don't know what to use for sauce and would love your recipes or ideas. Thanks so much in advance...

    Red chili paste plus honey equals spicy honey sauce for shrimp and chicken. Pair with carrots, green onions and water chestnuts over rice.
