this is a very basic stir fry mainly because i was too lazy to go shopping but more importantly sometimes it isn't about going out and spending money.. sometimes you'd rather just work with what you have.. i didn't plan on making stir fry today.. actually wanted to have me some chicken sandwiches but decided i had almost all the ingredients and said screw it.

you can substitute the chicken with very thin strips of meat.. so it can cook fast...

you will need
1 - 2lbs of chicken
basmati rice (costco or wallmart pretty sure ive seen it at krogers)
vegtable oil
soy sauce
cabbage (essential)
bell peppers (essential)
celery (essential)
onions (non essential)
garlic minced and peeled (very important! to get flavor into the chicken)
carrots (non essential)
baby corn (non essential and i didn't have any )
mushrooms (again non essential and i didn't have any)
green pea pods (non essential and i didn't have any)
lots of exotic stuff you can toss in like bamboo shoots that make eating this stuff more fun
sugar.
soy sauce
wok pan
pot

basmati rice (costco sells it)

2lbs of boneless chicken breasts

cabbage.. (needs more but this was all i had left)

pre chopped and seeded frozen bell peppers

onion (needs more but this is all i had left)

carrots (needs more but this is all i had left)

frozen pre peeled and preminced garlic ala me

3 cups of rice into wok pan cover with water
(for me its easier to cook the rice in the wok pan)

you need to set the rice aside to soak for a while.. the longer the better

wash chicken real good

cut chicken up into small strips

pot for stir fry

highest heat setting

little oil

garlic smack down

dont wait too long to toss in the chicken.. you dont want to brown the garlic..

here comes the stir fry part... dump down some salt and pepper

stir

while thats waiting cut up your onion and carrots

toss em in

and stir

stir

celery

cabbage

dump in celery

stir

bell peppers!

dont know if you can even tell in the pic but the rice drank the water and is a little puffed.. dont really have the time to wait for it so i went ahead and set it on the stove


dump down a little oil..

stir

little salt on the rice

high heat and cover

stir

dump in bell peppers

stir

stir

soy sauce

sugar (i like adding alot... my mom only like less than 2 table spoons which in my opinion is retarded)

stir

stir

dump cabbage and stir

stir rice

now that the water is all gone lower rice heat to medium

dump in soy sauce to taste and stir

had some coleslaw mix left over from before.. not coleslaw.. just the raw mix.. dumped it in..

stir

added a little more soy sauce for coloring purposes

rice almost done

by now youll notice veggie stock accumulating

i went ahead and poured it into a bowl.. this stuff is tasty as hell as is..

stir

rice done! (you have to taste it to know.. still hard = dump more water ontop and raise the heat then drop it back down when the water evaporates.. since its a wok pan you dont have to really stir it except when you add the salt and oil.. can add some butter if your a fatty.. im a fatty i like buttery rice lol)

done!

yum if i had used fresher ingredients the plate would have looked alot nicer.
but again.. for me its all about thriftyyyynesss lol why pay 1 dollar for a bell pepper when you can get an entire box of ones that are banged up for 5 bucks
