Cook 2 cups of rice. I use brown or jasmine. You can substitute 1 can of coconut coconut milk for an equal amount of water and make coconut rice. (Yummy but not the most economical.)
Make this sauce and set aside:
5-6 cloves of garlic minced
1 T soy sauce
1 T fish sauce
2 T oyster sauce
2 T water
1 t honey
Heat 1 T oil in wok until medium high heat.
Saute 2 thumb size pieces of shredded ginger for 2 minutes.
Add the sauce above.
Add chicken (skip if you just want to add veggies and stir fry for 3-5 minutes)
Add 2-4 cups of chopped veggies (I have used green beans, peas, bell peppers, squash, zuchinni, sugar snaps, (whatever is fresh). I have even used shredded cabbage, but you want to add it towards the end so it is not too soggy.) Stir fry until done
Turn off heat and add 1 cup of chopped basil
Add thai chili sauce to taste
This is our family’s favorite meal! I use whatever veggies are fresh out of the garden and our chicken we raise. I get all the sauces at the Asian food mart. This meal only costs us at most $2 to make and it is so yummy! My kids will eat all their veggies without complaints as well. Hope you enjoy!
