Thai Inspired Stir Fry


We love stir fry around my house. My children affectionately call it "chickie rice". They request it for dinner at least once a week. This past week I decided to add some flair to our stir fry. I used Jasmine rice and coconut milk to give our dish a Thai flair. It was so fun to taste the sweet and spicy in one simple dish. Give it a try!

THAI INSPIRED STIR FRY
Rice:
Jasmine rice
1 can of coconut milk
water

Stir-fry:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, chopped
1 zucchini, diced
2 red bell peppers, cored & chopped
2 broccoli crowns, chopped
3 celery stalks, chopped
3 green onions, diced
4 garlic cloves, peeled and diced
Any other veggies you'd like to add for flavor.
1/2 C Yoshida's sauce
1/4 C light soy sauce
2 t red pepper
1/4 t garlic salt

First, prepare the Jasmine rice according to package or rice cooker instructions. Substitute half of the water required with coconut milk. If you like the rice even sweeter only use the coconut milk, no water. While rice is cooking, warm a large, deep skillet. Pour soy sauce in skillet and warm. Add chicken chunks to medium-high heat. Stir. Add half of Yoshida's sauce, fresh garlic and garlic salt. Saute chicken until cooked through. Stir in all other ingredients. Saute, on medium heat, until the vegetables are cooked but still a tad bitey. Do not overcook the vegetables, they'll turn to mush! When the rice is done place a scoop of it into a bowl. Top with the stir-fry mix. Serve.
