Chinese Entree
CHICKEN STIR FRY
INGREDIENTS
2 chicken breasts
2 cloves garlic
1 yellow bell pepper
2 teaspoons peanut oil
2 teaspoons sesame oil
3 tablespoons honey
2 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 teaspoon ginger
6 ounces bean sprouts
2 large carrots
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 cup rice
2 cup water
PREPARATION
Cut chicken into 1/2-inch cubes or dice with food processor. (Chicken cubes make poor ear plugs.) Scrape off skin from carrots with knife and remove tops and bottoms. Dice garlic, bell pepper, and carrots.
Put chicken, garlic, bell pepper, sesame oil, and peanut oil in large no-stick frying pan or wok. Cook on medium heat until chicken is lightly browned. Stir occasionally.
Add honey, soy sauce, white pepper, ginger, sprouts, and carrots. Cook on medium heat until all is hot. Stir occasionally. Add cornstarch. Stir in cooked rice (cooked according to instructions on bag) and serve.
Simple and tasty.
TIDBITS
1) Rice is much more popular in Asia than in the United States.
2) However, Sam Rice, of the 1924 Washington Senators, was very popular in Washington, D.C. It is doubtful many in Asia had ever heard of him.
3) 1924 was the only year the Senators won the World Series.
4) In the 1960s, some losers of the World Series later toured and played in Japan.
5) Japanese samurais of the 10th to 16th centuries were famous for their swordsmanship.
6) So naturally, samurai trading cards were all the rage in Australia in 1965. There was even a well-watched t.v. show called Shintaro.
7) I had an outfit just like Shintaro and a genuine toy sword, too.
8) Where did they go?
