THAI CHICKEN STIR FRY

Steps:

• Cut your chicken into bite size pieces, place in a large frying pan or wok with 1/3 Cup of water at medium - high heat.
• Add coconut oil, honey, lime juice, garlic powder, ginger and basil.
• When your chicken is cooked, add soy sauce, onion, red pepper, carrots and other desired cut up vegetables.
• Put the lid on and cook for 7 minutes on medium - high heat.
• In the last 2 minutes of the above, add crushed red pepper, cloves of garlic (use a garlic press).
• In a small bowl mix cornstarch and 1/2 half cup of water.
• When the 7 minutes are up add the cornstarch and water to thicken the sauce.
• Serve with capellini noodles or jasmine rice (add coconut oil during cooking).

THAI STYLE CHICKEN STIR FRY

Steps:

• Note: I served this without noodles if you choose to serve over noodles or rice, lower chicken weight to about 700-800g and bok choy to 250-300g and bean sprout to about 120g.
• Combine chicken and ginger in a bowl, heat some of the peanut oil in a wok and cook chicken in batches, until browned all over, adding extra oil as needed.
• Add a little extra oil and stir fry pepper and garlic for about 1-2 Min's, stir constantly so as not to burn garlic.
• Add soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, sambal oelek, sweet chili sauce and sugar, stir to combine.
• Add bok choy, sprouts, onion, coriander, mint, stir, cover for just a few Min's to just wilt vegetables (you still want a good crunch), stir once more and serve.
• To serve: Serve as is on individual serving plates. Read note above if serving over rice or noodles.

SUPER QUICK THAI FLAVOURED STIR-FRIED CHICKEN.

Steps:

• Slice chicken fillets into thin strips.
• Mix chicken with oil, garlic, spring onions, soy sauce, vinegar, chili powder and chili sauce and sugar.
• Using a high heat, fry chicken mixture in a large frypan until chicken is well cooked through, stirring all the time (since the chicken is sliced thinly, this takes only a few minutes).
• The mixture will reduce slightly as the chicken cooks.
• Mix cornflour with the chicken stock (or water) in a small cup, so there are no lumps.
• Add cornflour mixture to the chicken mixture and cook on high until mixture reduces by half (Watch out, this literally takes 30 seconds to a minute).
• Toss in the coriander.
• Serve on rice or noodles with a salad.
• I often omit the chili sauce if serving to young children and it tastes a little bit more bland but great all the same.
• This cooks so fast that I cut up the chicken, put it in the fridge, have everything else ready in the frypan and the cornflour and coriander ready to go and just fling everything together at the very last moment.
• Making it too far in advance means that the sauce gets so thick that it starts sticking terribly to the bottom of the frypan.
• 90% of the cook time is the time it takes to crush the garlic, chop the onions, mix the cornflour etc. Time in the frypan is +/- 4 minutes.
