T Food

This is my favorite recipe for stir-fry.  I found it in Mom's Better's Homes and Gardens cookbook.  It's a little different in mine though, but we made it work.  You could probably use any type of meat you wanted to as well.

1 lb. chicken
3 Tbs. Soy sauce
2 Tbs. Water
1 1/2 tsp. cornstarch
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper (I just had regular pepper though)
2-3 tsp. honey
2 tsp brown sugar
1 Tbs. cooking oil
garlic...it calls for 2 cloves but I just sprinkle what i think a good portion is on there...not very much
1 package of stir-fry vegetables....asparagus mix is my favorite to use...or you can actually cut up your own fresh vegetables...but it's so much easier the other way!
You can also mix in some cashews or peanuts if you want
2 cups cooked rice

Cut up your chicken into slices and set aside.  In a bowl, mix together: water soy sauce cornstarch, honey, brown sugar and pepper.  Set aside.
Pour oil into wok or pan, add your vegetables and nuts, sprinkle with garlic, and cook until vegetables are tender.  Then remove them from the wok
Add chicken to the wok and cook until done..3-4 min.  Return the vegetables to the wok, push contents to the outside of the pan, and pour in sauce to center of pan/wok.  Stir until thick and bubbly.  Mix it all together and serve over hot rice.
