Cockeyed Optimist

Since I posted ‘Quick meals, not fast foods,’ a week or so ago, I have discovered another meal to add a little variety.

Like the other meals I listed, this is not a gee-whiz gourmet proposition, it just makes a change!

Chicken Stir-Fry

Ingredients

1. Diced or sliced chicken breast
2. A packet of soft noodles (Singapore style or similar)
3. A bit of ginger root, sliced finely and chopped up
4. Garlic, if you like
5. Leafy Chinese vegetables - baby bok choy or similar, chopped coarsely
6. Snow peas, capsicum, bean shoots, whatever, if you like, not essential
7. Oil (I prefer virgin olive oil)
8. Soy sauce

Method

1. Heat some oil in a wok or heavy shallow pan
2. Separate the noodles (I run water over them in a colander, then dry them a bit)
3. Add the chicken to the wok and stir often to stop it sticking
4. When the chicken looks mainly cooked, throw in the noodles and the other stuff
5. Add liberal amount of soy sauce and keep stirring until you think it’s ready.
6. Enjoy!

I must confess; this might take as long as 40 minutes all up!
