Here’s a recipe for a super easy stir fry :

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons chopped garlic
1 tsp finely chopped ginger
2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons black bean sauce
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1 red pepper, thinly sliced
1 large carrot, diced
3/4 pound of chicken breasts, cut into thin slices or squares*

*Please note: If you prefer a different meat or vegetable in this dish, it’s easy to substitute and still get a great outcome.

In a wok , heat the sesame oil until very hot. Cut or dice vegetables with a sharp knife such as a santoku . Add sliced onions, peppers and carrots. Sautee for 2-3 minutes and then add garlic and ginger. Sautee another minute and then add the cut up chicken breast. Cook through (5-7 minutes or until all pink is gone) and then add soy sauce and black bean sauce, toss with spatula or slotted spoon to cover all ingredients with the sauce.

I like to serve this over rice but it can also be served over rice noodles. I have these great bowls I bought in Chinatown at Pearl River that I think look really great to present Asian dishes on.
