By now you are all aware that i do not eat chicken. I often use vegetarian "meats", which are full of vegetable protein, to substitute for the real thing. They are quite tasty and I am used to them. I use one such product in this recipe, but of course if you eat real chicken, you may use it here and it will taste just as great.
This is a very simple stir-fry. Only two main ingredients are used. Please feel free to add/change any additional vegetable ingredients that you fancy at the moment you are going to cook this.
This is what I used:
-broccoli florets
-1 bag Quorn chicken tenders
-1 or 2 garlic cloves, peeled
-vegetable stock (chicken stock may be used of course, if you are not vegetarian)
-garlic powder
-szechwan seasoning
-olive oil
-salt and pepper
I would like to first say that the szechuan seasoning will probably be something you do not already have in your pantry. I would recommend that you buy it, though, because there is lots of ways you can use it and it will therefore be a good investment. It should cost no more than $5.
I start by heating some olive oil in a wok or any other large frying pan you may have. Then i add the "chicken" and I stir constantly so it begins to brown on all sides. Next i add the broccoli florets, stirring again and then add the garlic cloves almost at the same time. Add all the other ingredients (except for stock) at this point and just keep stirring and letting it all brown all over without letting it stick to the wok/pan, for about 5 minutes. Then add the stock, raise the heat a little and cover for a couple of minutes, make sure it does not stick to wok/pan, and when all liquid has evaporated, about 4 minutes, it is done. Goes wonderful with fried or regular rice. And sake (just kidding) Though cooking is a great reason to feel festive and celebrate with a drink, don't you think?
