Stir Fry - Made Easy

Stir Fry comes in many variations. For this simple recipe, we will use chicken. You can substitute steak, pork or shrimp.. This is a basic stir fry with a bit of an attitude.

Ingredients

1.5 lbs. chicken breast cut into thin strips

8ox Snow Peas

8ox Shredded carrots

8oz multi colored mini peppers

1 thinly sliced and diced red onion

3 cups minute rice white or brown.

3 cloves diced garlic

Soy Sauce
Red Chili Sauce
Coconut Oil
4 egg whites.

In a Wok or fry pan, coat the pan with Coconut Oil. Heat to a medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until each side is browned up. As the chicken is close to browning up, add the vegetables. Coat with soy sauce and a tsp of chili sauce.

As the food is preparing on the wok, prepare the minute rice to time it for adding to the final dish. You will need to add some coconut oil prior to adding the rice. Add the white rice on top of the stir fry. Coat with soy sauce and another tsp of chili sauce. Stir in the rice and cook until full immersed. for the final 3 - 5 mins, crack and egg in your hand over the stir fry and allow the whites to separate into the stir fry mix.

Additional notes: Dads should experiment with the stir fry. Add different meats and vegetables. If you have an Asian Grocery Market, check out the many sauces to experiment with. I love a hot Chili oil mix in my stir fry. The choices are endless.

Fried Green Tomatoes

We cleaned the garden and at the end of the year, you have a lot of green tomatoes. I usually make a salsa, but this year, I thought the kids and I could try Fried Green Tomotoes, and we stumbled upon a great recipe.


Most recipes are similar. They call for eggs, flour corn meal and bread crumbs. I went to the store and they were out of corn meal, and decided to picky up a Jiffy Corn Muffin mix. Essentially, a sweetened version of corn meal.


The flavor from sweetened corn meal was great. You can use either corn meal or the Jiffy mix. However we are going to stick to the Jiffy Mix.

Ingredients

1 Egg Beaten

5-6 Medium/large sized green tomatoes

1/2 cup Bread Crumbs

1/2 cup all purpose floor

1 cup of Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix or Corn Meal.

Cracked Pepper

Cracked Sea Salt.

In a bowl beat the egg with a 1tsp of milk. Next prepare the batter. Add all the ingredients together.

In a sauce pan heat about a 1/4 inch of oil on medium heat. (Coconut Oil is a great alternative)

Dip the fried green tomatoes in egg and then the batter. Place in the fry pan cooking about 2 minutes on each side til golden brown. Set on a paper towel. Add cracked pepper and salt to your liking.

(Do not try ripened tomatoes. We did, and there is a reason why you only use green tomatoes.)
