Super Easy Stir Fry & Healthy Fried Rice

Ingredients:

Stir Fry

1 bag frozen stir fry veggies

1 lb chicken tenders (cut into bite sized pieces)

2 tbs peanut oil

1/3 cup low sodium chicken stock

1/3 cup low sodium teriyaki sauce (Recommend Kikomen brand) (plus more to taste)

2 inch piece of ginger, peeled and minced

1 small yellow onion, diced

1 tsp Chinese Five Spice powder





Fried Rice:

3 cups cooked rice (can cook ahead of time, cooking them with chicken stock instead of water is a great way to add flavor)

2 eggs

2-3 tbs peanut oil

1/4 cup carrots, minced (you can just mince some matchstick carrots if you have them on hand already)

1 clove of garlic, chopped or grated

1 inch piece of ginger, chopping or grated

1 small yellow onion, diced (or 1/2 of a medium)

8 small white mushrooms, cleaned and sliced

3-4 green onions, sliced longways and cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces

2 tbs soy sauce

Marinate the chicken in the teriyaki sauce in the refrigerator. Scramble the eggs in a bowl, and then pour them into a hot, non stick skillet so that they form a thin coating on the pan. Once cooked, remove and break into small, bite sized pieces. In a wok (or non stick skillet), put on medium heat and add peanut oil and saute the onions for several minutes, and then add in the garlic, carrots, and ginger. Continue to cook for about 3 minutes. Then add in the mushrooms and continue to cook for about 5 minutes on medium to low. Then add the soy sauce and stir. Then turn the heat to low and add in the cooked eggs and green onions, then add in the rice. Stir fry for two to three minutes until everything is mixed and the rice is heated through.

For the stir fry...in a wok (or non stick skillet) over medium heat add the peanut oil and the chicken tenders (with the teriyaki sauce). Once the chicken is almost cooked through, add the onions. Cook for 3 minutes, then add the ginger and Chinese five spice. Cook for 3 minutes, then add the chicken stock and veggies (veggies should be thawed in the microwave). Cook for several minutes. Taste and add teriyaki if necessary. Enjoy!
