Ginger Honey Stir Fry

So this was something I wanted to do because I love honey and ginger, throw it a bit of spice, fresh veggies and you got one heck of a dish. Easy and tasty.

The reason why you have seen a lot of stir fry dishes us because they are easy to incorporate fresh veggies, have a lot of flavor, and can be cooked farely quick. I also want to show everyone that stir fry is not limited to what you find in the american chinese places around the corner.

Stir fry is the technique you are using to cook and is so versatile with so many different ingredients. Starting soon I am going to start doing themed weeks so this time around it has been Asian, the next round will be latin inspired. I will try to make latin dishes using the stir fry technique and the wok. This will be the first official test on here but I hypothesize that using the stir fry technique you can cook just about any dish.

Mix it up, try different ingredients like asparagus, mango, papaya to keep your stir fries unique in flavor and different every time you cook it.

Ok so here is the dish at hand Ginger Honey Stir Fry

Ingredients:
3 Tbsp Honey (not clove)
1/2 Tbsp fresh ginger powder
1/4 pound chicken thigh meat trimmed and cut into smaller pieces
1/2 cup red onion chopped
1 green bell pepper sliced into strips
1/2 cup yellow squash chopped
1 tsp minced garlic
Crispy chow mein noodles
Jasmine rice
Fish Sauce
Canola oil or any other high burn point oil
Sriracha sauce

Step 1:
Heat up your wok for about 5 minutes, most stoves in consumer kitchens do not put out enough heat to just start stir frying so you need to give the wok a few minutes to really heat up. Add 1 Tbsp canola oil to the wok once heated, drop chicken in the wok, sear, add about 1 tsp fish sauce, cook chicken until almost done, but not all the way. Take out and set to the side. Rinse the wok quickly to get any fish sauce residue that may burn out. Heat wok back up for another 5 minutes.

Step 2:
Mix honey and ginger powder together well.
Once wok is reheated add some more oil, place veggies in and stir fry tossing constantly. Stir fry for about 1-2 minutes, add chicken back in, add garlic, toss and mix well, reduce heat to medium high, add honey mixture, coat well, put onto bed of rice, and sprinkle chow mein noodles on top with a few drops of hot sauce. Enjoy!

Make that you start the rice ahead of time as it will take longer to cook than the dish will.
