Chicken Vegetable Stir Fry with Oyster Sauce
Posted: April 23, 2013 in FoodTags: Asian, Carrot, Chicken, Chinese, Cook, Lee Kum Kee, Oyster sauce, recipe, Rice, Soy sauce, stir fry, Vegetable, Zucchini
To start, gather your ingredients. Which are 2 lbs chicken breast, one onion, one jalapeno, four zucchini or calabacita, a bag of carrots, 15 cloves of garlic crushed, soy sauce, oyster sauce (Lee Kum Kee preferred to avoid MSG), and black pepper. This meal will feed eight people easily(I like leftovers), and takes about 40 minutes to prepare. For the Vegetarians and Vegans, add some soy based meat product or stick with veggies and rice.
Chop zucchini, onion, and chicken breast. Slice jalapeno and carrots with a mandolin or food processor. I prefer a mandolin. It’s great hand exercise. Watch your fingers!
Stir fry meat first with half the crushed garlic and about one tablespoon canola oil, because you will not have room for 2 lbs of chicken, and all the vegetables in a wok. Add about a tablespoon of soy sauce and two tablespoons of oyster sauce to meat. Also, season liberally with black pepper. Cook, drain, and add to large bowl. Then stir fry vegetables separately with other half crushed garlic, one tablespoon canola oil, and two tablespoons of soy sauce, and liberally add crushed black pepper. Cook the vegetables long enough to be warm and crunchy. Mix chicken and vegetables together. Cook two cups of white rice following package instructions. Serve up and enjoy!

Lollipop sweetness

Whopper malt balls save the day
Sweet tooths they gossip

This video will show you some of the common hazardous chemicals in our food, what is being done to our food, and the dangers it poses to all of us. I wanted to write a blog on this topic, but this video is so complete I thought,”Why bother?” People either care about their health, or they do not. This video is a MUST see for all that do care. It will open your eyes wide! Watch it!
