Step up Your Game..

First off, someone step up your game and post a damn recipe. Secondly, I made this last night and it is so damn easy and great...

Throw in some olive oil into a pan, toss in some cut up chicken, add in some garlic and broccoli, cook for like 10 minutes until your satisfied, add whatever seasonings you like and toss on some soy sauce.. BOOM.. greatness and very healthy too.. I feel the garlic is the key and I like to add red pepper flakes and standard salt and pepper... WORD, im out..

Stir Fry Chix

I do a version of one of these once a week.. taken from Men's Health.com

STIR-FRYING

Basic technique: Cut the raw chicken into bite-sized pieces or thin strips. Cook them in a nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat for 3 to 5 minutes or until browned. Then add the remaining ingredients in the order listed. Cook for 5 more minutes, stirring frequently.

Tip: Sesame oil gives stir-fries their distinct flavor. Its nutritional profile is similar to that of olive oil (i.e., high in the unsaturated fats you want). But if you don't have sesame, use canola or peanut oil, since olive oil can burn at high temperatures.

1. 1 Tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce; 2 tsp sesame oil; 1/2 c green or red bell pepper, cut into strips; 1/4 medium onion, cut lengthwise into strips; 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

2. 1 Tbsp hoisin sauce; 2 tsp sesame oil; 1/3 c matchstick carrots; 1/3 c chopped celery; 1 green onion, sliced; 2 Tbsp chopped, unsalted peanuts

3. 1 Tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce; 2 tsp sesame oil; 1/2 c asparagus tips; 2 Tbsp chopped, unsalted cashews

4. 1 Tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce; 1 Tbsp lemon juice; 1 tsp lemon zest; 1 tsp honey; 1 clove garlic, crushed; 1/2 c snow peas; 1 c chopped celery

5. 1 whisked egg; 1/2 c (or more) chopped broccoli; 1/4 medium onion, cut lengthwise into strips; 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes; 1 Tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce

6. 1 whisked egg; 1/2 c snow peas; 1/2 c green or red bell pepper, cut into strips; 1/4 onion, cut lengthwise into strips; 1 Tbsp hoisin sauce


BOOOOMMM.. easy as pie and quite tasty... recently I have been going with chix, followed by egg, followed by veggies (peppers, onions, garlic, broccoli or any combination of those), add the 1/2 tsp of red pepper flakes and some soy sauce and voila!

Sometimes I make a little bowl of pasta while doing the chicken and add that all in while adding a little more soy sauce... You are now the Ratatouille of stir fry..

BANGARANNNGGG!
