Chicken Stir Fry

My Cherry Almond Muffins from last week are sitting in for this week's Muffin Mondays.






Most of my stir fries are vegetable but once in a while, we have chicken, which I do love to eat.   Almost, every time, I make a stir-fry, I add soy sauce (gluten-free soy sauce).


Sidebar:  When one is gluten-free; her thinking is a little different.  Every item gets checked and still, I find when I re-check it, at home, I can make a mistake.  Hopefully, I catch all the mistakes.  It is not funny for someone who is gluten-free to eat a "mistake".


I protect my husband by doing a massive shopping at Passover time.  That is when you can get gluten-free soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce gluten-free, with ease.  I do see these, in the store, during the year but before Passover, they are massive quantities.  There are a whole bunch of goodies, I buy.  Sure, I can make my own but I love getting ready made blintzes and I can use them in a blintze souffle, something I don't want to  do to my own homemade.


I don't buy this to use on the holiday.  They sell everything from cereal to cookies to pasta and trust me, it is usually terrible to eat.  Cookies, I bake.  Pasta, we don't have for 8 days----gee.  Cereal falls off our menu.  If I can make it better than the big companies, I don't want their's.


I made this recipe, about three years ago on Comfy Cook and it was yummy then.  I think, it is yummier, this time round.

3 cutlets, halved

2 tablespoons cornstarch

    hi chaya, delicious stir fry and very similar to our chinese stir fry too. Over here, the term gluten free is still not widely awared by a lot of people thus it's a very rare sight seeing gluten free items on the shelves.

    Stir fry is not something I make. Could count the times on one hand, and even then it's some "cheater" style. With your endorsement of "yummier," I can't really pass this up! Thanks for taking the time to link with See Ya In the Gumbo!

    I think it's brilliant doing your stock up shopping during Passover.

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Brussels Sprouts - Power Food - Re-post

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi...

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I ...
