Chicken-Broccoli-Peanut Stir Fry

This one I'm cheating on...I got the basic idea from a cooking show and slimmed it down to just 5 things you will be eating in your rice, stirred together, more or less.

Ingredients
  • Peanut Oil
  • Frozen broccoli flowerets, thawed
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • Dry roasted peanuts
  • Chicken Starter Kit (see a previous post)
  • Eggs
  • Rice
  • (Salt and pepper to taste, and of course soy sauce)

Instructions

  • Heat enough peanut oil to lightly cover the bottom of a wok over high heat
  • Stir fry the broccoli and onions until crisp tender, at the last minute throw in the peanuts to heat them up
  • Remove broccoli, onions, and peanuts from the wok
  • Add a little more peanut oil if needed and carefully toss the chicken until heated--the chicken will start to shred if you stir it too much
  • When heated, remove from the wok
  • Add more peanut oil, and pour in 2 well beaten eggs, allow them to cook on their own for a minute, and then stir fry the eggs until cooked
  • Toss in all ingredients, including the still hot cooked rice, and carefully stir fry everything together for a moment
  • Top with salt and pepper to your taste and soy sauce to your taste, carefully stir fry for another moment and...
  • Serve

Measuring

  • You know how you like your stir fry--a lot of rice, or a lot of vegis and less meat, etc. So you put in the volume of each main ingredient to your preference
  • Make servings of about 3 and no more at a time; overloading the wok leads to mushy stir fry
