Sesame Thai Ginger Chicken Stir Fry

Asian, Chicken, One pot meal

Evening guys! So tonight I was planning on making Montery Chicken https://funfoodiefamily.com/2014/06/09/copy-cat-montery-chicken/, but I realized I didn’t have any cheddar cheese. Then I saw this in the pantry and had a new idea for dinner…006
In the time it takes you to cook the rice, your chicken and veggie stir fry will be done! Perfect timing! This would be great with beef, shrimp, or tofu!

Sesame Thai Ginger Chicken Stir Fry

Ingredients

2 tablespoons peanut oil (sub whatever oil you have)
3 chicken breasts cut in to bite sized pieces
1/2 container of Thai Ginger chicken stock
1 tablespoon ginger paste (Asian markets), or minced ginger
2 tablespoons Hoisin
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1-2 cups stir fry veggies- I used a combo of broccoli, snow peas, carrots, and shallots, but any veggie you have on hand would be great (mushrooms, peppers, baby corn, etc)
1 cup of rice

Directions

Cook rice to package. I used half water and half of the Thai Ginger Chicken Stock.
Combine all the veggies and chicken in a wok with a couple tablespoons of peanut oil. Add a splash of your stock, hoisin, and sesame oil. Cook on medium high heat until chicken is cooked through.

So anyways, tonight I made a yummy stir fry for dinner. I have made a couple of different stir fry meals before here on the blog. Usually it involves a sauce, lots of veggies, a protein, and a carb. Tonight was no different. Next time, I am going to try to make beef and broccoli. Look for that soon!

Chicken and Veggie Stir Fry with Cantonese Noodles

Ingredients

Sauces: Stir Fry (1/2 bottle), Hoisin (2 tablespoons), Sesame Seed Oil (1 tablespoon)

537
Veggies: Sweet Peppers (I used 3 different colors, all sliced equal to about 1 full pepper)
1 container of shiitake mushrooms, chopped
3 heads of Baby Bok Choy, chopped
1 handful of snow peas
1 small can each of baby corn, sliced water chestnuts, and sliced bamboo shoots

532
Protein: Chicken Thighs, cut in bite sized pieces

Carb: Cantonese Noodles-use whatever noodles you can find…I also love those Ramen noodles, minus the weird “flavor” packet it comes with.

Directions- Marinate your chicken thighs in half of the stir fry sauce (1/4 bottle). Prep all your veggies. Start boiling your water for your pasta. Heat your wok (or large circular pan) with a few tablespoons of peanut or veggie oil. Begin to cook the chicken. Cook for about 5 minutes or so. Add in your mushrooms and peppers. Cook another 5 minutes. Add the rest of the veggies and start cooking your pasta. Add in the rest of your sauces. When the bok choy is cooked down, add in your pasta. Mix well and taste. Add more sauce if desired.

Deconstructed Chinese Chicken and Veggie Noodles

Asian, Pasta

Alright. Here is the deal. I make my kids eat what I make. They have to try a bite of everything. No if, ands, or buts about it. I know my kids like chicken. I know they like noodles. They like MOST veggies. But kids will be kids and sometimes one bite of the veggies is enough and all they want is the chicken and noodles. It is all good. That is the great thing about deconstructed dinners. They get a little of everything and you feel like a rock star!

012
Cook the chicken with a stir fry mix of soy sauce, sesame oil, fish sauce, teriyaki sauce, and hoisin sauce. I did not really measure…just a shake of this and a shake of that.
Lots of different veggies- bok choy, mushrooms, ginger, baby corn, water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, and whatever else you want!
011

Once the chicken is done, take it out and add your noodles. Add a few more shakes of your asian sauces and a few cups of water to cover your noodles. Cook until done. Follow package directions. I just left the pasta in the broth. One of my daughters wanted soup, the other didn’t want the food to be wet =)

I added mine together in a bowl! It paired well with a nice glass of Spanish red wine =)
