Stir-fried Chicken
You could use other leftover meats such as pork, lamb or beef.
Ingredients show imperial units
Serves 4
- 200g leftover chicken, cut into strips
- 1 teaspoon clear honey
Honey
Enjoy it over ice cream, yoghurt or pancakes or spread onto toast or croissants.
- Honey is also an ancient remedy for the treatment of infected wounds.Manuka Honey has recently been ‘rediscovered’ by the medical profession, particularly where conventional modern therapeutic agents are failing.
- If it gets too cold it will crystallise. Just put the pot in a microwave for 30 seconds and it will return to its normal state.
- 1 tablespoon sunflower oil
Sunflower oil
It is tasteless and heats to a high temperature so is a good all round oil.
Ideal for pan-frying, mayonnaise, dressings and marinades.
- 1 clove garlic, peeled and crushed
- 2 spring onions, roughly chopped
- 150g broccoli florets
- 1 red pepper, cut into strips
-
1 tablespoon Soy sauce
Soy sauce
The two basic types of soy sauce used in chinese cooking are light and dark.
- Dark soy is aged much longer than light soy, giving it a brownish-black colour and much thicker texture. Dark soy is used in red-cooked dishes, and is good for marinating meat. Use carefully as the rather pungent odour and darker colour of dark soy sauce can ruin the taste or appearance of a dish.
- As its name suggests, light soy has a lighter colour, plus a saltier flavour. It is used more in cooking.
Instructions
- Put the chicken in a small bowl with a little soy sauce or teriyaki sauce and a teaspoon of runny honey.
- Heat a wok with a little sunflower oil until it begins to smoke, now quickly add crushed garlic, some chopped spring onions, broccoli and red peppers.
- Keep the food moving around until the vegetables are just cooked. Add the cooked chicken and stir fry until piping hot.
Comments on this recipe
I didn't have all the ingredients. I used red onion instead of spring onions. I also only had a very small amount of chicken to use up. I made a small salad and put about 2 tablespoons on top of salad. It made a lovely light starter. Hubby was impressed.
I made this exactly as the recipe says, and it was delicious! I will definitely be making this again!
This is awsome... my husband hates chicken but he liked this! Thank you.
