This is our favourite. Even my 2yr old son eats it happily.
Ingredients:
Vegetable Oil
Garlic (6 cloves)
Ginger (3-4 cm)
Chicken or Beef
Soy Sauce
White Wine
Broccoli
Celery
Green Beans and/or Snap peas and/or Snow Peas
2 Tbsp corn starch dissolved in 1/4 cup cold water
- I heat my pan to high and put in a fair amount of veg oil.
- add the chopped up garlic and ginger and my chicken or beef.
- add some soy sauce and sometimes a bit of white wine. I cook on high heat and never stop stirring. If the pan is really hot and the liquid is evaporating quickly I'll add more soy sauce and a bit of water too.
- when the meat is done I add the veggies and a bit more of the soy sauce and wine.
- when the veggies are ready (cooked but still a bit crisp), while still stirring I add my cornstarch water mixture which makes the sauce stick and cover the meat and veggies nicely.
- serve over basmatti rice.
I just use chicken or beef cut into strips;
Whatever veggies I have - usually brocoli, carrot, capsicum last night I used celery which was actually quite nice. I usually cut them into small sticks (what's that called again );
For the sauce I use a combination of garlic, oyster, soy and sweet chilli sauces. I just add them all to taste.
I have a big electric wok so I use that. Just add some oil and the garlic to the pan, then the meat and sauces and let that cook for a little while (and yep, keep stirring it constantly) then I add the vegies until they soften a bit but are still crisp (can't handle soggy vegies in a stir fry!). I usually serve it with noodles (either hokkien, rice noodles or just instant noodles (like 2 min noodles if that's all I have) because I know the kids will eat that, but I used to use rice a lot too.
