I made some great stir fry the other night. I’m going to make a rough set of instructions because I kinda just threw it together.

Ingredients:

• 5 cloves of Garlic
• 1 medium onion
• 2 handfuls of bean sprouts
• 2 small zucchini squash
• 1/2 of a 8 oz bag of pea pods
• 8 oz mushrooms
• 1lb chicken breast
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1-2 tablespoons peanut oil
• 1 cup Jasmine rice.

Method:

Heat your wok or skillet over medium-high heat until it is smokin’ hot. (I’d start cooking my rice now according to the packaging of the rice) Drizzle your oil in the wok add onion, mushroom, garlic, bean sprouts, zucchini, and pea pods. Sprinkle in some salt and the pepper flakes. Keep the wok hot and if your food stops sizzling pull it up the side of the wok by stirring with a wooden spoon. Brown the chicken in a seperate pan before adding it to your wok. Continue mixing the whole mess in your wok until the chicken is totally done. Serve over rice or noodles.
